well, maybe I was too fast to decide about 300, but I was close:
230days aor-ppr is the most frequent hit for the last 3 months, according to data from myimmitracker. Not the best dataset, too few points, but it shows a great correlation! 200-239 days is the largest bucket, regardless of the month of ppr. And obviously, those are May,Jun,Jul guys.
tables are here:

so that means - Feb 2020, Mar 2020, April 2020 are left behind. We've already crossed 230+days watermark.
They definitely started striving to meet some KPIs from this January.
1 Jan 2021 - 245 days = 1 may 2021. Hello spring applicants, pay taxes, and wait patient (angry)
PS:
here is a Oct, Nov, Dec, same frequency bucket analysis: it was the sweet time _some_ of spring guys got their approvals.
and the sweetest one let's get more points, it has to be Gaussian due to randomness: combined 3 month end of 2020 vs 3 month start of 2021, ppr received grouped by waiting days, viola!
you see how ~230 is out of Gaussian? that's a manual intervention into a random process.
or even more: from Oct2020 to Mar2021
I added approx red dots. It suspiciously looks like someone from top bosses just artificially select cases within specific date ranges and steal our approvals (e.g. staff capacity) to keep people approved in <7-8month and make them happy, following by cheerfull social media posts. We are left aside.
Edit: well, maybe there could be not a true gaussian, but assimetrical one with a higher right part.
anyway, I've checked Jan and Feb from 2020 - the sharp extremum is on 150 days, which means they are trying to meet 180days deadline. But in the current situation there is a huge unprocessed backlog, and no one cares to clean it before getting into new cases. Blame.
