Mine went from 2600 to 1400, no clue what is going on. Puzzles give less elo now too, 2 for normal, 3 for hard

dropped from 2700 to 1800
This is a rating correction. Finally TYSM CHESS.COM
Mine did the same thing I went from 2600 to 1680 what's happening does anyone know
I don’t know how they recalculated the puzzle rating but it seems a bit unfair.
I was first of my friends, and now under a mate.
If they calculated with the bullet/blitz/rapid rating, it’s a nonsense imo.
@un-cookedChicken
I noticed the same puzzle rating drop.
I supposed I’d solved all puzzle of my rating but perhaps it was because chess.com planned to change the rating calculation.
I dropped from 3358 to 2286 😅
But this rating was a nonsense.
I mostly got 2850-3000 puzzle until I used the free 7 days premium to do 200/days to finally got 2600 or less puzzles.

My puzzle RATING dropped from 2100 to 1400!
Please chess.com fix it! Also when I went to play a puzzle once I saw it is increasing only 2 points each win! How! And also whenever i complete a puzzle (in present time when I have 1400 rating) the puzzle is responding very slow, like when i click next, the system is taking a minute to bring me in the next puzzle! Even though I have a great wifi speed!
My puzzle RATING was 2100 but today I saw it dropped to 1400! I didn't even play any puzzle more when I was rated 2100 so how it dropped to 1400 for no reason?!

It has been covered here: https://www.chess.com/news/view/announcing-new-puzzles-rating-system
EVERYONE has been adjusted and applied throughout so nobody is hurt by this change and it makes it more logical! 
Same here... drop about 950 points
Yesterday end rating was 2515.
Today I have done 241 puzzles (198 correct 43 wrong) and it is 1569 now
You won't have your puzzle rating back! Bro accept now it's not inflated!
But now, why we get 2 ratings per win in puzzles?

For those interested in getting harder puzzles back, click the cog icon under the hint button in your puzzles. "Extra Hard" setting most closely resembles old er setting. I wish you all the best at getting your tactics up and your puzzle ratings back up as well! Read chess.com's article for more info
I recently have noticed that the puzzles I get are far below my rating (I'm getting 1700-2000 puzzles as a 2400-2500 puzzle rating). Now, I log in to do my 3 puzzles and my rating literally overnight has gone from 2430 to 1780 without even doing-let alone failing- puzzles...Hello? What's going on here?
