Don’t resign until offer is firmly in hand

This. If anything ask to push back your start date as needed.
I completely agree with this. Push back the start date to accommodate what you need.
Don't resign until you've completed every step in the hiring process. As someone else mentioned, you may need to push back your start date.
You can ask them to push back the start date. It’s a fair request since the background check is still pending. Just tell them you want transition time, they should understand
I personally did and had no issues. Did the new company say why the background check is taking so long?

They didn't say but mentioned it's scheduled to be completed by Jul 25th. I guess they prioritize based on the start date which is August 15th for me, because I am going on a vacation and need to time my resignation given the timing of the vacation.
