Poor Image quality without hyper realism

What happened to the image quality with plain old flux selected? You introduced hyper realism only very recently, before that I was able to consistently get high quality images without any major difficulty. But now anytime I pay one credit per image I wind up with blurry ass photos. Very much feels like you decided to raise rates 5 fold, but not really be on the up and up about it. Doesn’t feel right.
