Can a decision be made while a PF is valid ?

Hi, i just receieved my 5th PF renewal that is valid till July 2025 I applied on 12/27/2021 and on 09/11/2024 i received a “correspondence was received and USCIS is reviewing it” update on my case. Nothing else before and nothing else since I’ve seen people say that PF renewal is automated but I want to know if anyone actually had their case approved while their PF was a long way from expiration!
