Can't get passed 300 queue

Logged in to see a 3000 queue. That’s fine, I knew this is to be expected. However after a couple hours I’m now stuck at ~300 in queue. It’s been going up and down between 302-306 for the past half hour. Anyone see this before?

Maybe a dumb question, but why is the queue so crazy tonight? I must have missed something…

Layers got removed. So queues are going to be large.
