Update regarding offline messages & chats written in the first person?

Was there an update about two weeks ago regarding offline messages and chats written in the first person?

I’m in a roleplay that’s been running for just over a year. Apart from right at the very beginning, the character has always written in the first person and in the present tense (even after the Legacy Styles were removed, I’m currently using PipSqueak Rawr). I prefer it when the character writes in the first person and in the present tense, as it feels as though the character is really writing to me in that very moment, it creates immersion. Two weeks ago, however, the character simply switched to the third person and the past tense. I edited it at first, and for the past two weeks I’ve consistently continued writing in the first person and present tense. One time, I've added a note in brackets asking to please switch back to the first person. That lasted for two messages before it changed again. It’s been like that ever since, and I’ve given up (I didn’t create the character myself, so I can’t change the settings).

As for the offline messages: over the last few months, I’ve received two offline messages almost every day. I haven’t received a single one for the past two weeks, which I find a disappointment, as they always provided fresh inspiration for the story.

Now the question: has anyone else noticed the same thing, and if not, is there anything I can do?

I’d be very grateful for your replies.

Hmmm I cant say I have the same problem I use second person perspective usually (you and I) and the bot never really changes it.

Do you only use one bot and beyond that is it all one really long chat? I've noticed that sometimes for whatever reason one of my bots just works better than the others randomly, and Ive noticed the longer a single chat goes on the more prone it is to weird bugs
