~183K unconfirmed transactions with average time ~10.6 minutes and 4 sat/vB fees, I didn't think we would see such low fees in August especially since the difficulty will drop if we continue this trend which means we will probably find blocks faster. Summer has a good effect on transaction fees.

4 sats/vB is not a “low fee”.
1 or 2 s/vB is a “low fee”.
Surely, you cannot get your right to write in the most secure database for low fees as granted, but the garbage coming from Rune and Ordinals tricked us thinking these are low fees, when they actually are not.

Call me brainwashed, yet I don't consider anything consistently below 20 to 30 sats per vbyte to be particularly expensive for onchain transactions.

I think that expecting onchain transaction fees to stay below 10 sats per vbyte on an ongoing basis remains quite unrealistic and likely to result in your being ongoingly disappointed and whining like a little BIG blocker baby. Maybe it is just me? Perhaps?

Yet, in the past year or so, I have largely been changing some of my expectations regarding how to think about onchain transaction fees and also attempting to help any newbies and/or poor people to attempt to make sure that they are not holding a whole bunch of low value UTXOs - perhaps even UTXOs below 300k satoshis... so yeah, it may well be o.k. to have some UTXOs that are smaller than 300k satoshis in the event that some change might have been created at those levels or even some transactions might have come into one's wallet at those lower levels, yet if there are choices to keep the UTXOs a bit larger or even to use 3rd parties (or even lightning network) for some of the smaller UTXOs, then many of us should be trying to keep these matters in mind, especially since we might not want to be left with UTXOs that are either expensive to spend or that they might end up considerably decreasing our actual networth (in bitcoin) when we might have had failed/refused to account for the fact that we have a large number of our UTXOs that are in amounts that are relatively small.. below 300k satoshis, for example.
