Maybe.... I didn't have any age up, but I didn't even play for one sim day because I was not about to have all my sims age up and/or die in a file that I've been playing in for over 4 years.
I do want to clarify, because I saw one of the game changers post a YouTube video about the aging issue, and mine seems to be different from what they stated (which was that the game added days to their lifespan forcing them to age up). Mine literally seemed to be using the number of days for either short or average lifespan instead of long even though my settings were set to long. How I know: the age bar said 9 days to aging up but was still near the center of my teen sim's age bar, but I know that prior to the patch her age bar had over 30 days left out of the 54 or so that are allotted to teens on long lifespan. It's not adding days so much as the system isn't recognizing the setting for long lifespan and is assigning a different lifespan setting.
It might have jumped by a couple days since having 30-something days out of 54 would be about 1/3 of the age bar and 9 out of - I'm guessing - 14 is slightly over half. I didn't check age before entering CAS so I can't verify that that is what caused the difference.
I completely understand! Have a great night and thank you for all your help!

I’m having this exact same problem, my sims children went from having 9 days to age up to me loading up the save file and then they aged up to teens immediately before I can even do anything to stop it.
This. This is the exact issue I'm now, it only started after the patch fixing the randomly aging up bug (and others) which thankful that's not happening anymore; but now the days aren't accurately reflecting the lifespan. Instead of long like it should be it's saying the number of days for normal.
