Yes, many December 2023 I-485 filers are still waiting. Marriage-based I-485s through U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services commonly take 12 to 24 months depending on the field office, so being pending a little over two years, while frustrating, is not unusual right now.
If your I-130 was approved in December 2023 and there are no RFEs or interview issues, your case is likely just in the queue. Check your field office’s posted processing times, and if your receipt date is outside the “case inquiry” date listed, you can submit an outside normal processing time request. Otherwise, this is slow but still within what others are experiencing.

Last time I contacted live agent, I was told to send inquiry for escalation if no decision by Feb 25th. Not sure how accurate that date is but we'll see next week.
