A year ago there were still a lot of covid related travel restrictions, and many people were not taking risks and not travelling. Now everyone is discovering that their passport expired during lockdown, so they are all applying at once.

Do you live in (or near) the UK? If so I would suggest using the premium or fasttrack service. Premium you go and pick it up.
I don't live in the UK, but I was able to use the premium service no problem. (they say you have to live in the UK, but at no point was this an issue - I just used my parents UK postcode)
It is just really hard to get an appointment but once I did it was super easy, just had to travel to pick it up. I kept checking every day for appointments and finally after a couple of months got one.
It seems really erratic the other way at the moment, it can take 2 weeks, it can take 10, or they can just lose your application altogether. Some families send in a few passports to renew, some come back quickly, others take forever.

I applied in the beginning of April and it was ready at the beginning of June. But they did need me to send them more documents. So that may have slowed down the process.

If you do it via the post office service you can get it within a couple of weeks, as long as you provide all relevant documents.

I know several people who renewed passports before the holidays. For some it took 3 weeks but for many it took 10. It's a gamble.

To update everyone we did it via regular not fast track it came in 2 weeks ! Maybe it's slower earlier but now that holidays are over but I agree it really does sound like a gamble , a relative of mine London applied for renewal several months ago and it arrived the same time as the 2 week one! Different cities though maybe that makes a difference

We just renewed 2 children's passports, did it all online and it took less than 2 weeks for the new ones to arrive.
