There's like 119,000 people selected (number grows as people marrying and having kids exceeds those passing away) for 55000 visas. It's an over-selected year. 2021 was super over-selected, but still this year is an over-selected year. This means for the month of September (or say the last quarter) they will have more demand (DS submitees as opposed to DQs I guess) than supply (visas left). This means they need to set final cutoff dates.
The full data will be out in January. I don't know about the EU numbers (I know about the AS data). Based on 2020 data and the bulletins by now, I would say EU24k is pretty safe. The chances of your number getting current during this fiscal year are pretty good. So, chill out.
