You are running an open resolver. Your Pi-hole is exposed to the internet via port 53.

Close port 53 immediately.

Ok I closed the port, is there anything else I should be doing? or should that fix my issue?

Your Pi-hole has likely been part of a DNS amplification attack. Bots have been sending a ton ANY requests to your Pi-hole. The flood should stop now and no new warnings should not appear.
