Still says "processing" on the State Department website, and says to call if within 2 weeks of travel, so we're getting close to that point. It was delivered to PA around 3/18 IIRC.
We opted for the regular service to avoid the extra fees. My expedited renewal in December was in under 10 days (I had late January travel and wanted to play it safe).
Still waiting. Called today to pay the expedite fee since it is "processing" and nothing more, despite having been submitted more than 6 weeks ago. Phone agent took the fee and said there were "no guarantees it would be done by the 17th" despite the expedite fee.
I am just hoping it doesn't come down to an in-person visit on the 15th, when my wife gets back into town from her current trip. Seriously, mine (expedited) came in a bit over a week back in December; hers is amazing in that it's been more than 6 weeks now (we submitted the application a bit more than the 8 week mark, IIRC, from travel).
