Last week starting around Wednesday November 18th manual actions began disappearing from Google Search Console. Google's Daniel Waisberg confirmed everything is back to normal as of today.

Here is Daniel Waisberg from Google confirming it is fixed and that it only impacted a small number of sites:

I suspect it was now resolved? Here are some tweets with folks seeing them this morning:
