    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

    These do show significant increases year to year for the last couple months, but not the near doubling indicated by the other numbers. The hep-th arxiv apocalypse is not here yet.
