Hello, Idk why but my rated puzzles got too easy, I get like 400 rated puzzles when I'm 2200 rated, and even if I get 20 in a row they remain really low rated.

im 2260 and i havent gotten a puzzle above 1800 in like 30 puzzles. its not fun, i dont feel like im improving anymore. 
a couple months ago it wasnt like that. you used to always get puzzles no less than like 300 points under or 200 above your rating

There's been an update to how puzzles are rated on the back end but the UI is still using the old ratings. You can't tell what the actual rating is that's being used at this point but it should be updated in the near future.

The new system is designed to have more accurate ratings for puzzles.

Same problem. My rating is somewhere around 2700, but I haven't gotten a puzzle harder than 1800 in the last few days.

You can't currently rely on the displayed puzzle rating as those are mostly not accurate anymore. At some point the ratings being used will be updated in the interface

But it’s not just the displayed number - I got 45 puzzles right in a row, so clearly they are far too easy for me (I’m about 2800-2900 on puzzles, but it is now mostly giving me ones under 2000, and that’s the level they seem). They are all only worth 5 points, even if I only take 10 seconds. My rating has climbed above 3100 today with ease since I only make occasional silly mistakes on these easier ones, having struggled to inch up to 3000 in the past (the 3000 rated ones are very hard for me). I think there’s a bug here…

I’ve also seen this for the past week or so, have gotten several 20+ streaks that only break because I lose focus. All of my puzzles are very easy.

I’m riding a 40+ streak right now my rating is 3089! I’m ranked 25,971 this is amazing! I wrote to them and they still won’t fix it so I’ll take it. I kind of feel like it’s helped me to slow down tho. Until recently, I was regularly knocking out 23-2500s but the incentive to study the whole board and really internalize the basics has been helpful, rather than guessing my way through more of the harder ones. I was starting to feel like the puzzles were hurting my game but not so much after doing all these easier drills over and over.

i agree on that, doing the basics over and over is helping a lot, idk tho if avoiding the harder ones will hurt my game in the long run, cause right now i have to play tematic puzzle to get something over 1800 which is wierd.
