H1B to H4 + EAD timelines?

Hi, my spouse is currently on H1B and we have filed for a COS status to H4+EAD in December, 2025 with start date as June. Can someone share any recent experiences of their timelines? USCIS website in December said 80% cases should be resolved in 3.5 months. Now, it says 6 months.

Also, what happens if the application remains pending after June? Will she need to stop working? Usually does H4+EAD get approved together in this scenario ?

Is there a way to get this expedited?
