Merges stuck (again)?

Here also a merge that hasn't gone through after a whole day.
Everything since March 1 (at the very least) is stuck for me.

Until an hour ago, everything was stuck for me too. But an item I set to Deleted an hour ago, went through within a minute. So my guess is everything stuck in the days long merge queue was dropped in order to fix the issue, as my older mergers still haven't completed.
I'll try to re-queue what I can and see if it goes through.For reference, here are the three merges I re-qeueued:

I've tried to requeue one of mine, no luck. I haven't tried another 'new' merge yet to see if would make any difference.
Here are some 'new' merges, all of which are just as stuck:https://www.goodreads.com/book/edits/...

I will stop merging, since I may be exacerbating the issue.
I'm going to try to do a merge or two a day so we can see if this gets corrected.
This is the response I got from support: Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I've gone ahead and refreshed the book page cache in the hopes that it will "unfreeze" the queued action. The action may take up to 3 days to fully complete, so please let us know if the issue still persists after that time.
For now, I don't see any effect.
Did a few today to see if it works. It doesn't:https://www.goodreads.com/book/edits/...

I doff my hat to you, I've given up.
I'm not a super-librarian, but my merges have also been stuck since March 3rd :( I've tried making them public again and deleting them, but no luck.

By the way, support got back to me again, asking for more details, so please, send them more details. Apparently, my word that no merges are happening for a week is not enough.
Update: I don't know if it was the strong language I used (not really) or just some stars aligned, but a merge just worked for me:https://www.goodreads.com/book/edits/...
Let's hope this is a good sign.
I've done almost no merges lately, but did one in the beginning of March, that is also stuck.Earlier today I've reported it to Support, and also linked to this thread, to show that I'm not the only one experiencing this. I've not yet gotten an answer.
Well, that one success might have been a fluke, since another is stuck:

This was resolved by the bot.
I am doing a very popular author right now. There are going to be quite a few that will need to be merged by the time I am done. I will obviously wait until whatever is happening with the merging is resolved. I have been keeping track on a word doc. After things are moving smoothly again, I was wondering how many merge requests is sufficient. I remember several months ago I put WAY too many in one page. I was wondering if 3 per page would be too many. I was hoping to submit one page a day. The author has 6 books that are extremely popular. One of the books has been added almost 4 MILLION!! times. That one has 670 editions in the largest thread. The one I am doing now had 335. I have 6 books so far that need merging.
I figure it will take a couple of weeks to go through all of them.
Tawnya, what you are asking is a good question, but it does not belong in the "Merges stuck (again)?" thread.

And some more:

These were resolved by the bot.
I have also some new merges that are stuck, will report them to the staff.

That merge was completed yesterday by the amazon_catalog bot: https://www.goodreads.com/book/edits/...
(I still had the edit page for the duplicate edition open, so I could confirm that it is the id for the duplicate that I had attempted to merge.)
Yes, my last two merges above were completed by amazon_catalog too. Maybe they are trying to fix it this way?
Due to deteriorating health I didn't follow up on this issue.However, I made some merges today and they all went through the queue in a few minutes, so I think issue was resolved. If I find the strength/interest, I'll try to requeue some of the older deletes which were stuck and see how it goes.
In case anyone is interested, it seems like many of the older merges were automatically done with a delay of 14-17 days, and no re-queueing was necessary. See for example here:https://www.goodreads.com/book/edits/...
edit #772575524 and #772575525 are the queueing result of #763974616 and maybe #763972628, 17 days earlier.
Yes, it seems to be solved. All my merges have gone through. I had to undelete and delete again but it worked.
Anyone else?
