"136 / 137 user waiting for approval"

I think that they joined and you subsequently turned on “must approve users”.

Doesn’t that end up bulk approving the existing users?

@Moin

When you enable must approve users, all existing users are approved automatically.

Maybe it works to temporarily enable that to use the automation to approve your users.
