From the Newsletter of Randonneurs NL, the Dutch organisation (translated by Google):

PBP is full!

All available places for PBP have been taken a few days ago. The ACP has therefore closed the registration.
Ultimately there are around 7600 pre-registrants. The ACP expects about 10% non-starters, so that around 6,850 participants will be at the start. This is the maximum that the organization can handle this time. The vacant places of the non-starters will therefore not be given away again. If you have not registered in advance, you will unfortunately not be able to start.
In practice, anyone who was there on time and had at least a 200-km license was able to register in the 2018 season. We expect that this will not be enough by 2023. Then you will have had to ride a longer distance in the previous year.
Eric Norris says so too in his "PBP Tips" YouTube series:
