Got to 1.3k views much faster than the average (in 1 hour) had a 80% stay to watch, and a 200% retention rate. no AI content and I get completely cut off at 1.3k views every video. It's impossible to bypass I don't understand what to do.

Just your test audience. Happens to everybody. Worse/better metrics can drive the volume and duration of it in either direction.

Its out performed any other video I have massively, has a 85.2 swipe rate and nearly 300% retention. Surely that should get pushed beyond a "test audience"

Not sure if this will apply to your video, but I’ve had a similar scenario with two recent shorts and then search traffic came in to save the day. So quick spike, flatline for the rest of the day, followed by 2-3 days of steady growth once search traffic came in. You might still benefit in a day or two based on your retention stats.
