Seems your archive command is not working properly. Set it first and then try again.
Also, please share your postgresql.auto.conf ( remove confidential information like - password , username , IP etc. , if any)

If the standby is *streaming* WAL, it is *not* waiting for a WAL segment to be archived.
WAL is streamed to the standby right away.
