Looks like it is not:

Update: Sorry, but a commenter points out that this may just be an artifact of counting based on when most recently modified, not on original submission date.

Numbers using original, not most recent, submission dates

For 12/1 to 12/31 the numbers were
2022: 800
2023: 811
2024: 815
2025: 855

For 1/1 to 2/1
2022:510
2023:490
2024:501
2025:544
2026:617

For 2/1 to 2/15
2022:255
2023:221
2024:280
2025:276
2026:311
