That's another thing that it's kind of out of sync. It's especially annoying that the few things that increase his rapport like the mage's guild dailies don't also give him XP.
I mean, I think they should get some XP from quests to cater to players who prefer not to grind, but it's if they won;t do that they should at least get some from the rapport or companion story quests.
i had the opposite experience, i had them max level well before max rapport lol
many of the good sources of rapport have a daily cooldown, while you can farm xp for them basically as long as you want with no type of cooldown
"Farm XP" as in grinding would be the difference. The rapport daily cooldowns make the difference between leveling and maxing rapport even more pronounced since the rapport is artificially slowed down with the timers.
Rapport Status for Ember is definitely bugged.
Got rapport from visiting Outlaws Refuge and collecting runestones, but rapport status has not moved at all from the default start position.

Yet my Ember is just level 16 and my Isobel is level 14. I haven't even started leveling their rapport yet.
Please allow our Companions to gain experience from our quests, too. I don't mind putting some effort into leveling them but this is like crawling at a snail's pace.
Yes indeed, though:
[Ember 250 rapport per day from High Isle delve daily + Mage Guild Daily (public dungeon so good xp)]
[Isobel 250 from High Isle world boss daily + Bolgrul daily]
are quick way to gain and progress their personal quests unfortunately the xp gain from personal quests is almost zero as there is next to no combat, however I found doing all of those was quick enough to include in my daily routine without loss.
My bugbear is the requirement to fence a purple Item for the achievements as I don't recall ever getting one from stealing/pickpocketing in several years of playing...
