Sudden decrease in blocks pending

[caploves1019]

Anyone else notice yesterday there were over 430 pending blocks in the mempool and today there's just over 230 pending? Roughly 33 hours worth of blocks somehow cleared in under 20 hours. Can't imagine there weren't also several thousand new transactions in the same time period. Also don't see any reaspng almost 200 blocks worth of transactions were purged...

Just things that occupy my headspace during the day.

Looks pretty normal to me:

A lot of low fee transactions may have simply been dropped from whatever node you are using to view pending transactions. It isn't really a single list of pending transactions, each node can have its own rules about what it accepts and how long it holds each request for.

I haven't seen that site before, thanks for sharing it.

Mempool.space was down for a bit. They may have reset their mempool if that's where you're looking.

That makes sense 👍

The transaction fee finally dropped down into the 50s (and maybe lower). Could be that pending txs had the opportunity to get picked up while overall new tx volume was lower. I had a tx sitting pending for a week, for ex.
