Delayed Distribution on all YouTube Shorts?

Over the last week, every single YouTube short I post is stuck at 0-10 views for 6+ hours before eventually making it's rounds and getting its standard 1K-2K views.

I used to see this kind of delay on occasion, but usually the norm was for the distribution to occur shortly after I posted, not much later in the day.

Anyone else experience something like this and come across a fix? It's not a big deal, just an oddity.
