I noticed that Booming Blade & Green Flame Blade are not scaling with level for the damage increase. Not sure if it is just me but I noticed it on a few of my character's sheets.
The scaling appears to be working correctly for my own character sheets. Do you have a screenshot of the display you're seeing, or a link to your character sheet?

You don't know what fear is until you've witnessed a drunk bird divebombing you while carrying a screaming Kobold throwing fire anywhere and everywhere.
Looks like there's probably a bug because you're multiclassing. Cantrips are supposed to scale off character level, but they're probably scaling off class level.
This looks correct to me: your character is at level 5, at level 5 the damage for booming blade should be melee attack damage plus 1d8, with an additional 2d8 if the target moves. That's what I'm seeing on your sheet. What are you expecting to see that you're not seeing, and where on the sheet?
It is displaying correctly. At level 5, Booming Blade does: your weapon damage +1d8 Thunder damage, and an additional 2d8 Thunder damage if they move.

I tried another character that was a straight class Warlock. Same issue.

Actually, now that I'm looking more closely, I think it is scaling correctly, you may just be misreading it.
at 1st-4th level, booming blade and green flame blade don't deal base bonus damage, but deal secondary damage.
at 5th level, they deal base damage and higher secondary damage, which then scales at 11th and 17th levels.
Try raising your level to 11th or 17th and you'll see it scale further.

OMG right, I'm dumb. I forgot that at level 5 it scales to 1d8 not 2d8. Thanks, that's embarrassing.
NBD, it happens!
