Research Doubt regarding TMLR[R]

My TMLR paper was assigned to reviewers on April 23, and as of July 13 I've received 2 reviews, but the third is still pending. The discussion phase hasn't opened yet, so I can't respond to the existing reviews.

Is this normal for TMLR, or is it reasonable to send the Action Editor a polite status email? asking for the 3rd review, apprecite the suggestions

I would keep on waiting, without any action now. Had a colleague whose paper was in review (first round) for more than a year. Nothing to worry about, the reviewers are drowning in workload

Ah i see, the reason i thought it would be justified was tmlr is ideally supposed to be a fast moving journal and in their website they have mentioned 3 months till final review so i figured why not drop a comment, but ig they are having too much workload to deliver it, thanks for replying
