Population boom didn't happen until June 2021.

Stormblood's issues were a game design problem - the instanced trial was too early in the MSQ, and everyone hit it at once. They learned from that mistake and MSQ now has two branching paths to occupy people, neither of which has a solo instance in it. Having gotten through level 84 content now, I have not had a single time I haven't been able to move to an instance or duty. Believe it or not, different error messages often have entirely different causes.
