...all of a sudden. I wonder what caused this? Feels like it is delaminating. Wood is fine, just the finish. What can I do?

Sounds like a strong temperature change or very high humidity. Nothing you can do but have it refinished.

Can't see it in pics...it's not horrible. Still plays fine. I imagine it will get worse. Humidity is the culprit. What does a neck refinish typically cost?

Poly finish Strats do that. Instead of the nice fade of nitro, they crack and chip.
