It's the same on my server.
Today, day 5, from 10 to 14 cet, I can see almost all the auctions ending not before 10 tokens.

Starting from the beginning of the season I've made just 2 auctions, because I really needed a MC.
Yesterday before lunch I quit after 19 tokens, in the evening I finally won the auction but I had to lose 21 tokens and pay 1.9M for a player which value is 1.25
