Between my last check some minutes before the 23:00 and a minute ago, my clicks increased like a 25%.
Is this a click dump? Did you see it?

It is happened al the time.

Usually for me it is in the beginning of AS day (or at the end).
And usually it is not click numbers what is increasing but earnings.

I make almost nothing in the last 4 hours of the day, but then in the wee hours of the early morning, sometime before I get up, the Google elves always seem to leave a little pot of gold in my account.

I think they hold onto it and then release it until after they audit the stats to cover any possible invalid clicks.

Of course, an equally valid explanation is that the traffic from 8 in the evening to midnight isn't worth nearly as much (more international in mix or budgets have been consumed).
