Just a few days ago I mentioned that Google was crawling a very outdated set of URLs:

I noticed that the September update wasn't quite going right, as did several others here on BHW and elsewhere. Long discussion on the above linked thread.
24 hours ago Google put out a notice that it had a new indexing problem:
You'll remember that just before the September update they also had an indexing problem. Then came a deep crawl.
Sure enough this morning lots of sites I monitor had their rankings back to August/September 2019 rankings and Googlebot was heavily crawling again, hitting many sites several times per second. This isn't just a refresh crawl, it's a deep crawl.
tl;dr; Brace for a new update soon. The September update didn't roll out as smoothly as they planned.
