See email attached here. The second sentence of your post remains correct, ie, it is immaterial when the bill is paid.

I think LP's will still POST a few days after the statement is issued, but after 2023 they will COUNT as of the transaction date. In other words, you won't see them in your account until the statement date, but they will be applied retroactively to the transaction date.
