Puzzle Storm Bug?

lichess.org/forum/general-chess-discussion/puzzle-storm-world-record-2#1

As you see here, people are able to get ridiculous scores above 100 when they were previously able to get 30.
It looks like the puzzles get easier as you go, and some people have said that once the puzzles reach the 600 mark, lichess ends the run as it is out of puzzles.
It looks very much like a bug. A patzer like me getting 109 is ridiculous without over 70% of the puzzles being back rank mates.
Noticed same thing in Puzzle Streak. Before that my best result was 65ish where more or less last 30 puzzles had rating 2000+. This morning I started a new streak, ratings grow incredibly slowly, and by 66 score the puzzle is rated 782, and vast majority of puzzles were one-move blunders (naked hanging piece) and easiest of tactics with backrank checkmates represented overwhelmingly.
it's been fixed, puzzle storm is back to normal by the looks of it
Yea! Even i got 14!! Which is ridiculously huge! (For me, i m not that good)
my friend got 95 in puzzle storm he said he he got 65 backrank mates lol
This has happened before, a few days ago. It's "fixed" now because new puzzle paths get generated every hour and the new ones are correct again but the underlying problem is still unknown. But Thibault is aware of it.
Uh why isnt the bug affecting my puzzle storm?? :( i wanna score 100 too :((
