New video stopped getting views after 24 hours

Uploaded a new video, in about 24 hours it got 1.1K views, which is pretty good for my average and it had a higher view reception from the beginning, like half the views were subscribers. It was getting between 40-70 views per hour. Compared to other videos, it was on track to get 5k-10k views. It had a pretty good CTR of 5.5%.
Then about after the 26 hours, it just stopped getting views. In those 26 hours, it got 1.2k views and the impressions had reached about 14.2k in the first 26 hours, and then in the following 5 hours, it got 70 views and about 1.7k impressions.
This had never happened to me before. I understand that after the initial recommendation youtube does, views should start going down, but it had never happened so abruptly to me. It has a good ammount of comments and even though it doesn't show the audience retention graph, the average view duration was 5:25, a little over half the video, which is similar to what I tend to get in videos (proportionally, this is a shorter video than usual).
Based on the impressions, it seems youtube almost stopped showing it (please correct me if I have the wrong idea of what impressions are).

Any tips or ideas as to what could've happened? My previous video performed really well compared to my average, could it have to do with that? Like the algorithm demanding more of this new video so to speak?

pls help :(
