What happened to rating of puzzles in puzzle rush?
I find it very strange that rating of the puzzles that are featured in puzzle rush tend to become completely off the mark recently. Earlier, the human feedback of whether the puzzle rating fits was there, and the puzzle ratings made sense at that time. I feel that is not true any longer. It is okay to give a mix of puzzles (rather than steadily increasing rating of the puzzles) in puzzle rush. But, the rating increasing as a number, and that number having nothing to do with the puzzle is silly. For instance, check out the puzzle rush for today (31-12-2024).

Many puzzles in this set were one/two move mate, back rank mate, simple mating net or simple tactics irrespective of the rating given.
(e.g.: https://www.chess.com/puzzles/problem/2386028 )
Can we please make the rating of puzzles in puzzle rush make sense again? (could be by user feedback. The simplest means would be deciding the puzzle rating solely based on pass rate; even that would be better than the ratings currently given I think).
See the notes below for some details
Compared to the puzzles in 1300+ to 1800 range, I would say that https://www.chess.com/puzzles/problem/610206 and https://www.chess.com/puzzles/problem/1427690 (rated 947 and 1268 respectively) were harder.
Comments on two other puzzles from the same set:
https://www.chess.com/puzzles/problem/1171584 (rated 1926)
It is not very hard, but at least this theme [simple defense] is rarely featured in puzzles; so, that could be harder for people; still, 1926 looks like rating put too high
https://www.chess.com/puzzles/problem/979136 (rated 3004)
The line for which the continuation is asked is silly.
