Image quality degradation over past weeks

I run forge webui from a custom notebook in Google colab, I use the A100 GPU (NVIDIA), it has 40GB VRAM. Using for continuously since the support of flux has made it my preference.

Over the past few weeks though, (with no changes to my routine) attempting similar tasks now nearly always results in terrible image quality that was not present in the earlier days (like early August to early September) of Flux support. The image issues usually are along the lines of blurry, artifact ridden, pixelated, unfinished, uncanny… and other similarities of that nature.

Interestingly though, reverting to a previous commit does not solve the issue… Making me think maybe it’s a dependency within the colab environment, or some update to their memory, GPU/AI architecture, or other changes variable related to processing on forge, maybe? I don’t know.

I’m seeking any recommendations or ideas that anyone has about this issue, particularly if you have similar troubles and have potentially found some workaround? Thank you all in advance.

++ If you have a commit recommendation please share as I will be happy to try!

The report names Google Colab, an NVIDIA A100 with 40GB VRAM, Flux support, and a prior-commit comparison, but no project file or test. Start by reproducing the degraded output in the same Colab setup and comparing its environment with the earlier period; done means identifying a project or dependency cause, or documenting a reliable workaround.
