"X premium members waiting" Que

[Prospect]

We all see the same thing:

X = 498 (?)

 

"X premium members waiting.

Estimated Wait time: Y min."

 

I would like to get some clarification on this, is X defined by the amount of players in-front of you or the total amount of people waiting in the premium que?

I feel like they are very literal and mean thats the total amount of people waiting, however I wanted to know if  anyone knew the answer to this.

 

It wouldn't make sense not to show your placement in the que.

I think its overall number cus time is decrasing while number of ppl is the same or increasing.

It's the total number.
