Laravel 5.1.x database queue jobs not being attempted

I successfully had queued tasks working on a test site, and updated my live site (same server). The live queue is now just filling up without being processed, or attempted. I am using forge, and that is running a queue process. Can anyone help with what I can check next to find out why it wouldn't be working

So this is my first time working with Laravel Queues and the application that I'm building will need several different queues for priority purposes. The queue that I was testing had a name other than default. If you're using a named queue, make sure to add it to the artisan command

 php artisan queue:work <connection_name> --queue=<queue_name>

I tried many things such as clearing the cache, restarting the worker, and was helped through checking supervisord was running the worker properly etc.

One final question I was asked by the person helping - was if the app was in maintenance mode. I answered no, because my site was live.

However, after reading https://divinglaravel.com/queue-system/workers :

If app in maintenance mode you can still process jobs if your worker run with the --force option:

I tried:

php artisan queue:work --force

I noticed that a job WAS processed, so I tried php artisan:up and everything worked.

Essentially, we have removed the maintenance middleware sometime ago, so the app WAS in maintenance mode technically, but was still live.

So if a queue is not processing at all, try three things:

php artisan:up
php artisan config:clear
php artisan queue:restart
