Did scoring change in puzzles?

Am I crazy or does did they adjust the scoring for puzzles? I'm suddenly getting a lot of +1 for right answers. Normally that would only ever happen if I left it sitting and solved it like an hour later. But I'm getting them for puzzles I get and solve right away. It started happening at the same time that the they started making us start over on a puzzle with a wrong move (as opposed to just redoing the move we got wrong). Both things I noticed for the first time yesterday.

If you are on the app, it could just be a cache issue. In looking at your recent results, the scoring is normal and you got more than one point on most of your successful or partially successful tactics.

Oh, wow, I had no idea that I could review the history of my puzzles like that. I just looked and that's so great. And you're right. I think I was reacting to a run of puzzles that were lower ranked than they felt difficulty wise. Thanks for the reply and for cluing me in on being able to review my history like that!

October 24 today. My Puzzle scoring Dropped on 18 October from 1750 to 1445. Instead of getting 5 as a minimin is has dropped to 2, then rises 3, 4 etc. When I get one wrong on average it dropped by 20 points. I do not like this, so switched to Lichess, which has more motivating scoring. For anyone else with a low puzzle score like me, how are you finding this new scoring. I like that the puzzle rating goes up gradually, but not the huge drop.
I tend to play late at night when my attention is waning. it used to be relaxing, no more I have to be super altert not to make a single mistake.
