Noticed this too.

Haven’t seen that before.

Basically, it’s what happens when a miner finds a new block faster than a new block template can be filled with transactions.

A mining pool submits a block template. They do this all the time to save time and sometimes before the block can be filled, the template gets accepted. It's fairly common.

I just found out. Thanks, I had forgot that was a thing.

Happens from time to time

It happens. I remember one happening back in September
