Reddit users report that Plus-tier image generation suddenly regressed around Oct 23: deformed bodies, lost detail, incoherent environments—described as a rollback to over a year ago. The author also observed that longer compensating prompts make the generation run its sketch→finalize flow, restart around 96%, then output based on the earlier simpler prompt—or fail with a generic error. They feel 'rugpull scammed' after paying for a month a week earlier. Not independently verified whether this is widespread.
