The grace deletion percentage for .com is currently at 1.30% with 79 on the waiting list. The percentage has been steadily declining over the last 24 hours and the waiting list has been stacking up. Why are the grace deletion requests not being processed, even though the rate is well below 10%?

Those domains still on the wait list were registered last month. Since last month is closed now, none of those domains will get deleted since we were over the 10% quota last month.
The low percentage you see now is for this month. If you register a domain this month, there is still lots of quota to delete.
Why didnt anyone tell us this, I mean, when I looked at the line up I didnt even bother to try and cancel... and now your telling me that I could have... geez
That's great feedback. We have modified the system to clear all deletion requests from the last month, so the wait list will be 0 as each month starts.
