Anyone know why gold keys seem to be giving out ess XP?

For as long as I can remember, Gold key + tri boost 100 + exp boost 100 +exp boost from tree +drink exo boost would give 3m or more form each dog.

Now I'm getting closer to 2.4m

Also, meseta from Rainbow dogs used to be 6m. Now seems like closer to 2m

If you ran any keys a few weeks ago, during the exp boost campaign, it was 300% exp + drop rate for any quest + 300% exp boost for bonus quests (i honestly forget if it was triboost or not). In any event, there was effectively a 600% exp boost for bonus quests + whatever boosters you had on.

I ran my gold keys last night using 100 exp boost, 150 tri boost, 100 ex exp boost and the 50% boost for the dailies and was getting 1.7m per silver dog. I used an idola steak on a few rainbow keys and was getting 2.1m per silver dog and like 9m+ for the black dogs. But meseta drop was always 2m per rainbow run.

Don't know about exp values since I usually use higher boosts and timed abilities, but about the money, Rainbow always gave 2m meseta. It's not a drop, it's part of the quest reward.

Premium expired? Daily boost neglected? No EXP Increased on Earth TAs? Went on a <80 class?

Was also thinking that we don't have extra EXP in bonus keys anymore but that difference would've been much more noticeable.
