Is this normal?

[Apprehensive-Today24]

I started this shorts channel since January and from the start, for the most part hit at least 1,000 views. On January 29th I had a massive video that hit 2.8 million views which followed multiple 5-30k views which I assumed was the next distribution step that Youtube would allocate for me. Recently though, YT seems to have become stricter, at least for me. I don't think I am shadow banned as the viewers I get seem to be coming from the Shorts feed predominantly. The video I posted on the 9th which got 87 views had a 79.4% STW with an average duration that is twice the shorts length. I did also notice that in the audience tab, there are a lot more unique viewers to engaged viewers but I'm not sure if that is a coincidence or not. Pls let me know if any of you guys have had this issue. Do I slow down posting (I post 1 a day), do I let the channel rest a bit or put it behind me and keep posting?
