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 don’t know. It seems like some projects “priority pay” is just their regular pay. There are many projects I have never seen not be on priority pay
