There's a new Difficulty setting you can change on the website. Change it to Hard or Extra Hard

Are the difficulty settings absolute or relative (with respect to my rating)? I did not change the settings but I was given a 1800+ puzzle today. It was labelled as "Extra Hard".

The Extra Hard pop-up from the Puzzle Points system has nothing really to do with the new difficulty setting. The new setting impacts the range of ratings you get; the rating of the puzzle compared to your current rating determines if it's considered hard or extra for puzzle points purposes.
