Did chess.com nerf puzzles??

Chess.com seems to have made a strange change to puzzle ratings. I'm rated 3400+, but now I'm mostly getting puzzles rated 1700–2700. Just a month ago, I was regularly seeing 2800+ puzzles that took real effort to solve (if I even could).
In the last 3 days, I solved 20 puzzles with an average rating of 2428, including some as low as 1700. Only one was above 2817, a random 3391. Am I complaining about the rating range? No, I like the variety to keep me on my feet; sometimes it really is just that easy in real games, but where are the puzzles that actually challenge my level? Isn’t growth supposed to come at the point of resistance? Now, every puzzle session feels like a puzzle rush run.
Am I the only one this is happening to or is this just the new norm? Am I just an old head off my rocker and everyone else loves this?
