The minimum of 250 SQM per segment was one of the first items to go as soon as they launched the faster points posting last month. Ever since, I always got the actual SQM value posted right after the flight. 8-9 days later the correction is posted for the difference to 250 SQM.

If my (uneducated) theory is right, all SQM/SQD/SQS will now be posted as adjustments through the end of 2025, about a week after the flight. So, yes things are working "exceptionally well" as this is probably planned.

This makes no sense. There's no machine that needs to be "wound down" gradually. It's code, and it worked just fine a few weeks ago. Doing adjustments ex post doesn't help them prepare for the cutover, it's a Band-Aid fix for whatever they broke that created this mess.
