I see you referencing some sort of difficulty rating, but I don't see a setting for that on the android app outside of custom puzzles, so that's not a setting I changed. Suddenly I just have an 85+% success rate on puzzles and it won't give me difficult ones. Surely it's a bug
The setting is only available on web currently and should be available on the apps in the near future. However, the change does impact the apps
I've changed the difficulty setting, and the puzzles are still randomly rated anywhere from 1300 to 3200 with no rhyme or reason at all to it. The difficulty setting makes absolutely no difference.

You're still going to get a range. That's always been the case.
Did you change to Hard or Extra Hard?

Even with extra hard they will still give random levels of puzzles very rarely repeating ones

The range has always been the case. Also, the site has re-rated all the puzzles in the backend and the puzzle algorithm is selecting them based on that rating. The UI hasn't been updated yet to show those ratings but is happening in the near future.
Why have chess puzzles suddenly become absurdly easy? Have shot up to 2800 rating but the puzzles are nowhere as difficult as just a couple of weeks ago when I struggled to pass 2400
There's a new Difficulty setting. Change it to Hard or Extra Hard.
Why I know this information from you? Why chesscom do not notify users about the new setting?
As previously mentioned...
It doesn't mean they don't care
It is seems for me that they really do not care. Bugs and problems long for years

yep
Something has definitely changed recently. I can't explain why I'm suddenly getting inundated with low-rated puzzles which don't give me any benefit, but every time I miss one I lose 17-20 points...
Like, why am I getting 200 rated puzzles when I'm rated 2000?
same stuff, i don't know why they changed it. i didn't see any publicity about the change too but maybe it is just me. i prefered the old style, it was dynamic, now setting to a certain level feels weird

I prestiged Standard and Hard and am currently doing Extra Hard and have found no discernable difference between Hard and Extra Hard. If anything, Extra Hard has been easier. All puzzles seem to be rated in the 1600-1800 range but the solve rate varies widely. Odd.

And today, I'm sure coincidentally, I'm getting puzzles with ratings all over the place. 600 - 3000.
As someone else correctly mentioned, Puzzles has become a trash bin. It used to be a useful and fun training tool.
In addition to the difficulty slider needing to go away, and the puzzle ratings being a mess...
...has anyone else noticed that the % pass rate / # attempts that's shown after completing a puzzle is also broken? It's been showing incorrect stats 100% of the time, for about 6 months now. (The only way to see the correct stats is to click on a puzzle's permalink.) I reported this as a bug but got no reply.
As Martin mentioned few comments above, this is not implemented yet in the App directly, so we have to "activate" it first through the Web so that it could work in the App (work around for now). Ive tested it yesterday, changed from Classic to Hard just to see if there will be any difference and i can confirm that the puzzles did get somewhat more harder or difficult.

Or just go to the Web, in the upper left corner open the Menu and choose puzzles. When the puzzle window opens, change the difficulty and test it out for yourself 😊
