Tried to do some deciphering today to see exactly what date my Amex Tracker is updated through. My best estimate is that it is accurate for purchases only through around 9/20. So at this point it is over 2 weeks behind and $2K behind in spend as well. However, my DL Tracker appears accurate.
I hope Amex will get this fixed before the year's end. I can see serious delays in spend posting could affect one's ability to reach MQM threshold's before the year is out. Not a huge concern for status for most due to the extension, but it's still one of the main reasons I use my card.

Another data point: two days after statement close, my bonus miles have posted and my MQM boost tracker is completely up-to-date (caught up by around $4,000). Haven't done any more purchases to see if it will keep updating, but at least it seems to have caught up after statement close.

My spend tracker on the DL app still seems to be catching up. Twice this week it jumped up, yet I spent less than $50, not thousands of dollars.

Mine has been about $15-20k behind for months. I’ve contacted Amex and they confirm there is an issue they are looking into, but no change in about 6 weeks since I requested an audit. All my spend is legitimate, meaning no MS, so other than annual fees, all should count.

Mine has finally caught up and I have now received the 3rd and 4th status boosts from the Reserve card which I was waiting on. Went from being $50k+ behind to catching over the course of the last week to week and half.

My tracker on the AMEX site finally seems to be caught up, more or less. It includes a transaction posted Oct 1st (statement closing date Oct 2nd) but nothing from Oct 2nd onward, but is otherwise correct as far as I can tell by going to the "year to date" page and taking the total spent less returns and the annual fee. The tracker on the DL site is slightly further ahead since it includes October spend, similar to what others have observed.

My Status Boost Tracker on the Amex site seems to have finally caught up, or caught up enough to push me past the 4th Reserve Boost that any further spend doesn't matter towards MQM Boosts.
Haven't gotten an email from DL to claim my MQM boost but that usually lags by about a day.
Edit - Just got my boost email from DL, so quicker than I thought it would happen.

The worthless chat agent told me there is a known issue that will be fixed by 10/30. And couldn't give me my spend information manually. I'm trying to distribute spend to reach the threshold without over spedning since we have several reserve cards close to the threshold and this is definitely making it difficult.

Can't you get spend from the last statement, as of whatever has posted by the closing date, and then add later charges that have posted since the closing date? It shouldn't be necessary to go back any further unless you have some returns which then need to be followed carefully.
