mage Grain Issue in Quality Mode Starting This Afternoon

Hello,

Since the afternoon of 08/07/25, I’ve been experiencing a consistent issue with the “Quality” mode: generated images are showing noticeable grain and visual noise, especially when using the RealCartoon Pony model along with LoRAs.

Earlier in the day, everything was working normally, clean, smooth, high-quality images. But starting in the afternoon, without any change to my prompt, settings, or model, the results became grainy.

This issue is occurring on two separate accounts, which strongly suggests a change in the platform itself, possibly in the upscale/refinement process tied to Quality mode.

As a VIP subscriber, I rely on this feature as one of the key benefits of the plan, and its current behavior is not aligned with the expected results.

Could you please confirm if there was a recent server-side update or configuration change affecting this behavior, and whether this will be normalized soon?

Thank you for your time and support.
