#Changed tactics algorithm?

Did Chess.com changed anything in the tactics algorithm? Since a few days I get puzzles that jump between 100 and 2200 Elo in a row. It doesn't matter if I have set the difficulty to Standard, Difficult or Extra Difficult. In the past, the jumps were often +- 500 Elo apart.

I could understand, for example, if I had a puzzle with 1700 wrong, that an easier puzzle would follow. But that's not the case. The selection seems to be arbitrary.

As a test, I answered a puzzle with 400 incorrectly and then received a puzzle with 1800 next.

Does anyone else feel the same way?
I use the iOS app.
