Deteriorating quality?

I'm using a paid account on Elevenlabs. Has anyone else noticed a very recent deterioration in quality of the voices? I have been using TTS a lot recently and at first I was amazed at how nuanced the verbalization was. I was using the text to speech app and found that giving mood instructions within the [brackets] worked great. Well...just yesterday I went to use TTS and found I needed to switch to Studio to access this function. It only allowed V2 so [bracketed] instructions weren't allowed. The voices I have used up until then suddenly became monotone and robotic to a laughable degree. At one point one of my characters had to alert others to a fire . Despite three exclamation points the vocalization sounded like someone asking to pass the butter at a dinner table. Totally unusable. I am paying a lot to use this service and I fear that they are caving into some corporate budget cutting while screwing the user. Someone having the same issue?
