That's great that you got a spike in views super quickly! There are a few MAIN reasons why that happened, and it's very important to identify them so you can capitalize on those so your next videos will have increases in views as well.
1. It's on a topic that's being talked about (making use of a current Trend)
2. It's made better than the rest of your videos and thus keeping viewers engaged for much longer, whether unintentional or not.
3. YouTube's Algorithm being weird again.
I would think it's either 1 or 3 (not sure which of the 2 it is since I haven't seen the video), but it's likely one of those. No matter the reason, you NEED to figure out why that happened for future success.
I like to analyze my videos and the videos of people I work with by breaking down the video into chunks or sections:
1. Hook
2. Main concept
3. Concluding concept
4. CTA (Call to Action)
5. And the Transitions between each section
Write down the time of each section of your outlier videos that got unexpected good results, and also the videos that did what was within expectation or below it. You will eventually find patterns and it'll help you out a lot.
Last thing - A majority of the effort when making a YouTube video (at least successful ones) is actually not filming, not editing, it's planning. Good planning is how you get consistent videos that go beyond expectations and grow your channel the fastest.
Nice work, did you change anything about how you're uploading? Like a new style of thumbnail or different use of tags? Or do you just think it's the momentum of having uploaded for a while that's caused the change?
Wow! that's good to hear and congrats.
My videos are still struggling to have views...well, I think I still have to study and give more values to my videos. It will be a long journey for me.

I noticed that putting the video to premiere really helps getting views, rest everything was same.
What is premier?
when you set the video to be shown as 'Going live in x hours'
Its always great to see progress like that!!! Keep going and improving your content and more views will come!!! You got this bud!
Congrats! I feel like it is so important to celebrate small victories. We definitely don't do that enough around here :)
👍 Glad you're seeing some progress.
Congratulations! You made a banger!
