I noticed after I upgraded to Monterey (12.2 or 12.3, not sure when it started) that TimeMacineProgress would sometimes appear to get stuck at the (prep) stage. That was being caused by an error - apparently tmutil status now reports intermediate phases that lack any Percent value. This PR addresses that error, bumps the version, and as a bonus provides a little more info in the (prep) tooltip during the various backup phases provided by the apparently modified tmutil's status results.
FWIW TimeMachineProgress's percentage stops advancing when TimeMachine goes into its 'cleaning up' phases, prior to 'stopping'. Addressing that is a separate issue that I'm not sure is worth the effort. I'm happy to try to help if you think it is.
Below is an example of the tmutil status data that triggers the stack dump:
