Between literally every season, yes. It basically only had two writers and they refused to grow the team IIRC. So it remained very tightly focused and consistent across the seasons, but they worked way slower than shows that have full writing teams.
Yeah. I started watching like a decade ago, and got to see all of like two new seasons release, and the last one ended on a fucking cliffhanger. It got canceled a couple of years later after having been greenlit for another season, so the next season would have been probably half done already, though I imagine their production pipeline was likely a long, involved writing and storyboarding process followed by animation and voice-work at the tail end for cost reasons, so it may be that while they were greenlit to write another season when it came time for the big investment of animating and voicing it the plug got pulled.
It maintained a pretty active, devoted fan-base despite the long gaps between seasons, though.
It works better as a binge watch anyway, the second episode of season 7 revolves mostly around a plot point from the third episode, and there was like 15 years between the airdate of each one.

Think that explains it, some friend turned me onto it and I binged it and then watched the newest season and was like "oh boi can't wait for another!"
And then nothing happened. I imagine you dwindle your fanbase over time doing that.
