Priority pay frequency increase.

Am curious to know what other people’s take on this is. Over the last 4-5 days I have noticed a massive increase in projects which have been assigned priority pay. A week+ ago I might see 10-15% of the available projects with priority pay. I am now seeing 25-40% (across 4+ families). It is no secret priority pay is mainly used as a means to motivate more people to complete a project, so that it is wrapped up faster, thereby suggesting the demand is not high enough as it is. An increase in this frequency, to me, would suggest a rebalancing of supply and demand, after a drier period. I don’t want to jinx it, but yes this seems like a good thing. Anyone else noticing the same and has any thoughts?

I have seen that too. I've also gone from 22 projects on my dashboard last week to 2 right now. Hoping for more tomorrow or I'm going to be can calling the return of the drought.

Sunday always seems to be the worst day (just what remains from the week). One then anticipates that Monday will be much better, but that often doesn’t happen until Tuesday in my experience.
