New Settlers not Showing Up

Almost all of my settlements are having issues with settlers showing up. They seem to be stuck and not getting any additional settlers even though there's lots of spare beds and residential plots for them to move into. But no one is showing up? I've tried removing and replacing the recruitment beacons but it doesn't seem to be making any difference? Like the Castle is stuck at 10 settlers and Sanctuary is stuck at 15. Starlight Diner also hasn't gained any new settlers at all beyond the crew with Hurbert that I told to move in there. I have 10 charisma so I'm not sure what else is a potential issue?
 
SS2 changes the way Recruitment Beacons work to be a substantially lower percentage of someone spawning once the settlement is past 5 population. I seem to recall seeing 10% per day be the number getting thrown around, but I have not verified that myself (apart from it feeling about right).

Ah. Good to know. Is there anyway I could change that? Just feels painfully slow compared to stock and makes me worried it's broken :P

Not that I know of. I agree that it does feel a LITTLE low, but I deliberately use as few Generic Settlers as possible myself on the theory that the Unique ones CAN'T trigger the vanilla Radiant Quests. But that's just how I roll - between SS2 and "Interesting NPCs - Settlers of the Commonwealth" there's more than enough people around looking to join settlements without conjuring people out of thin air.

Ah I'm sort of in the opposite side of things :P I more or less only have generic settlers and I like building really big settlements in the Castle and Santuary
 
The console command player.placeatme 20593 x (where x = the number of settlers you want) will spawn settlers near you. You have to enter workshop mode and 'send' the spawned setters to a settlement before you can assign them.
