Sure, but it gives the impression of degraded model performance. Especially when the interface is still saying the model is operating on "high", the same as it did yesterday, yet it is in "medium" -- it just looks like the model got hobbled.

Oh, absolutely. Though changes in how the model is used is imminently more fixable than the model itself.

Yes, but for many users, CC is the product. Especially since I'm not allowed(?) to use my own harness with my sub.
