Pretty sure 0.185 saw the same progress on CS/RS at first until his "in-between specials" slowed everything down to a halt. We've also had the same ~3 weeks of nothingness beforehand, except this time it was apparently due to "personal stuff" rather than "preparing the writing/setting up scenes/clothing/lighting etc. for my animator" to prevent delays from animations.
Makes you question if the current cycle is gonna take longer, because L&P surely didn't have time to "prepare" everything as he wasn't working, right? That is if you want to believe the developers words.
Also worth noting that the script for 0.185 was, according to L&P, 16 pages of MS-Word after his preparations and planning, but ended up with 24 (or was it 27?) pages in the end. I'm guessing that's partly due to the unplanned "in-between specials" aswell, which makes me wonder if without those "specials", had animations delayed the update in the end as it would have been shorter overall? The animation progress bar reached 100% only days before release if I remember correctly (towards the end of his programming&translation phase), but the delay from his "in-between specials" was much longer. Now, all of this can be petty much ignored by those who don't believe the progress bars mean anything anyway, as he could have used his "in-between specials" statement as an excuse to stall for animation work for all we know. Who knows.
Animations should see some progress on the bars soon, otherwise I don't see how they're not gonna end up delaying the update considering we're 4 weeks into the current cycle.
