May 18th - sent in my renewal application
May 19th - they received it
May 29th - received notifications through text that my application was received (they started reviewing on May 28th according to the online case status)

I received mail notifications, including a 3rd letter that says they will reuse my biometrics from previous application.

June 11 - EAD card being produced.

My expiration date is Oct 25, 2021.

So there you have it, for those curious. I will be losing 4 months of EAD, but i rather get it earlier and have the peace of mind.
