My mrs applied on 6th may and currently her applications pre assessment has already been done and is under going further checks ... would be safe to say yours would be going through the same phase in shaa Allah
The online email form service wouldn't be able to give you a correct update just to let you know as I had to escalate to get the correct update ... but don't worry in Shaa Allah we should hear roughly about a week after eid so around 27th July week at latest

I know two people who applied in May and got their decision and I also heard about one June applicant
As per my knowledge March applicant are almost processed except few special cases
April 2nd and 3rd week in progress and they are targeting to complete April cases after Eid holidays
As per my knowledge no of applicants who applied in May are much less than March and less than April Even so do expect few decisions of May by end of July.
No of applications drop in June and July (1st week)may be less weddings ,hot weather ,change in criteria about submission and Ramadan so we might see most of May decisions before 14th August

Good luck

You probably have 2/3 weeks more to wait, probably will hear after eid. You timeline is similar to mine. You will only hear from them when the passport is ready to pick up.

I highly doubt any June application would have got a decision for a spouse visa this quick, May is also unlikely as they are still dealing with April at this stage. You would have to know a lot of people applying in order to know 2 that got a decision already.

I agree that after Aoril applications would drop off, particularly for June, July and August.
