Google Play Console API
Google Play Console's API was designed to provide statuses that reflect developers' intentions, rather than the actual state of the app as it goes through the review and release process.
This leads to several limitations and discrepancies — for example, the API may show an app as "Completed" or "In Progress", even if it hasn't been reviewed by Google yet, is still pending developer release, or has already been rejected.
This is a known issue that affects multiple tools and developers. Google is aware, but they said there's no specific timeline for getting this fixed.
You can support the effort by upvoting the following issues on Google’s public tracker:

Your +1 helps signal that this is an important issue for the developer community.
To counteract this, Statused uses a combination of API polling, email parsing, and broader context to provide the most accurate status updates possible. Read more about how to set this up in Google Play Email Forwarding.
