How does the queue work????

Hi new here this month and sad to see the upcoming changes to rates. Anyway I logged out for 5 minutes to finally install addons and logging back in im kicked to the back of the queue again. Just waited an hour and a half to get in. Never happened to me before. How does it work if you're logged out for a certain period of time then the queue goes down? Very curious.

Also have been disconnected from the queue and gotten back in at the small place several minutes later.

If you log out you lose your place, if you disconnect and come back within few mins you will keep your place.

Even if you logout you will still keep your place as long as you login again within 5 minutes. Anything longer than that, gg, have fun in the queue.
