I think I beat you on slowest possible method, since I didn't list any upcoming travel either. Adult renewal:
7 March 2024 - Mailed to Philadelphia via first class mail (just 2 stamps!)
13 March 2024 - check cleared
14 March 2024 - "in process" on the website, locator 45
18 April 2024 - "approved"
19 April 2024- Passport mailed from Tucson via USPS Priority Mail
22 April 2024 - passport received
So 6.5 weeks total including time in transit to Philly, very reasonable to me.
