You’ve always been allowed to do that with the US.
The issue being debated is based on if the passport issued is for 10 years or 10 years + x months and the validity now of the extra months.

I did my passport application online as it was for a straightforward renewal on Friday 3rd March. Had my photo taken and got a code for my application and sent my old passport off on the the same day. My new passport arrived yesterday. Nine working days is very good I would say.
I did mine 27 of Feb online, sent my old one 3 of March, got a text that it was received on the 6th, still waiting,
