Portal in Battlefield 2042 was completely unusable due to the number of exp grind/bot farm/achievement servers. It had the same global server quota hosting issue, because everyone was just starting a server for a solo experience. You couldn't even find normal games anymore.
They've invested heavily in portal, so I don't blame them for making sure it remains accessible for the people that actually want to play against others.

There was no serious quota issue in 2042 until the BF6 hype started and they got people who did not play 2042 to grind XP for the battlepass to unlock stuff for BF6.
The problem always starts with DICE and co adding slow boring grinds.
I can't speak for your experience, but it took me multiple minutes at a minimum to start a server, even before the BF6 grind. At times it also took way longer.
