So I'm kinda confused about this. I've been playing 10 min rapid games for more than 1.5 years on this site, and the rating points for winning were +7 - +12 depending on the rating, and -7 - -12 depending on the rating. But recently I've started playing 10 | 5 games instead of 10 min and the rating change has almost doubled in ELO, from +25 to -27. Idk if this is normal, but I'm not complaining because this helps me progress faster. Also my rating range is set to -50 to +50. Is this normal?

Larger jumps like this can happen when you resume playing after a long absence.
