I think it also depends on how many commissions are outstanding when a new round is open, as well as how quickly the artist is completing those commissions.
If someone is constantly taking (random example) 10 new commission slots while they have 15-20 outstanding and only finish five before opening up commissions for yet another 10 on top of that repeatedly over a period of time it sets up a potential issue. That's how back-logs that get up to the ridiculous numbers grow.
