Didn't you build v2.24.0-rc0?

The output in question is formatted in display() in progress.c:124:

        strbuf_addf(counters_sb,
                    "%3u%% (%"PRIuMAX"/%"PRIuMAX")%s", percent,
                    (uintmax_t)n, (uintmax_t)progress->total,
                    tp);

where both 'n' and 'progress->total' are uint64_t, and 'PRIuMAX' is 'llu'. All of these are widely used throughout the code base.

It's not surprising, basically that's what 2b6f6ea1bd is all about.
