Does anyone have an updated count by month for applicants still waiting for fees to be debited and those waiting for approval?

Update For Jan Applications so far:
I have counted 57 applications made of which 38 applications have had their fees debited.
The following are the 19 people who have posted their application date but I haven't seen an update regarding the fees debited.
