Ok cool, here’s what you can do to handle your specific case:

  1. Approve/reject any pending users that are currently visible in your review queue

  2. Take a backup of your site

  3. Enter the rails console of your site

    cd /var/discourse
./launcher enter app
rails c

  4. Get the users that are in approval limbo

    pending_users = AdminUserIndexQuery.new(query: 'pending', stats: false).find_users_query

  5. Run the following to approve them

    pending_users.each do |u|
  u.approved = true
  u.approved_by = Discourse.system_user
  u.approved_at = Time.zone.now
  u.save!
end

That should do it!
