Yes, this is a problem, especially when you have items from multiple backends.

For example when you have one update for a Flatpak app and 900 package updates from PackageKit, Discover will first update the one Flatpak app and report the overall progress percentage to be 50%! It seems like the overall percentage is simply the sum of each individual backend's average progress, divided by the number of backends. This is wrong; it should be the average of all individual items' progress aggregated from all backends.

Fixing this would probably provide a huge boost in users' perception of Discover's quality.

neon discover upgrade "offline upgrade"

fortunately there was an upgrade now but it got worse

the upgrade packages are bundled into 1, you can expand and see what is in there but apparently no change is possible

then in good old windows fashion a reboot is required and the packages are installed before reaching graphical target, finishing it reboots again ...

For offline updates, it's a different matter. Is that what you were talking about all along, or is this a new thing you're reporting?

there is no choice for online or offline, all this pkgs in the blue frame
are one bundle, I haven't seen this before and the last neon mega update
was last week
I think it is part of this issue even if it wasn't there before today's
update

Neon very recently changed to do offline updates by default. So it looks like this changed for you as a part of that switcheroo. This bug report is about interactive updates; can you please file a new bug report for offline updates? Thanks!

I understand, the new issue is #435525
thanks

actually, the process is running visibly much better now with Plasma 5.24.4
the progress bar of each individual package is working, showing something I mean
the upgrade itself is working fine, but is still dark matter
the overall progress is not exactly tranquilizing because it's hard to say what is going on, I believe the download should complete before the next begins, now the threads are running all together, not sure if this is really a good thing, for us normal users it is voodoo we can not follow, whatsoever it is working and never gave me any problem 
what is really missing is the option setting packages on hold, when comes the bunch of upgrades it is quite annoying going through the list and unclick one or another, I know I can set the hold from CLI, but it could be an unnecessary step
