I am setting the recovery_min_apply_delay ONLY to simulate/force a delay , because I cannot test my process otherwise. 

Without this parameter the replication is happening in near real time and I can never test the part of the monitor/Health check that is supposed to wake up and report a delay.

Once I have tested my monitoring process, I will run it with no delay. 

My question is , can the difference in LSN from this query approximated to the amount of data that is yet to be transferred

select  pg_wal_lsn_diff(pg_current_wal_lsn(),replay_lsn) from pg_stat_replication

LG

Please define "caught up", in particular how you understand the term in the presence of recovery_min_apply_delay, which you said you are setting.
The point of the parameter is to *prevent* WAL replay from catching up.
