It sounds like most of your users have the same `last_seen_at` value. Usually import scripts set it to the user’s `created_at` or `last_posted_at` date & time.

Maybe that didn’t happen or lots of users have it set to the same time… Try updating the `last_seen_at` column with random times so that it evenly distributes the digest mails throughout the day.
