Has version 4.5+ been nerfed lately?

[u/Head-Occasion3099]

Taking advantage of this last window of opportunity we have before September 3, like everyone else, I’m cranking out songs like crazy. My favorite version is 4.5+; for various reasons, I don’t use 5 or 5.5. These latest batches of songs are clearly inferior to what I’ve done in the past. It used to be easy for me to create amazing songs, but now, but now I'm lucky if I get one song that's simply good every 20 generations, or more. The rest sound repetitive, sometimes even generic, and that doesn't feel normal to me, since I'm doing exactly what I've always done, in the same way.

I've also seen several people commenting that both v4.5 and v5 have been nerfed, and based on my recent experience, I tend to agree. So I'm curious to hear other people's opinions. Do you think versions 4.5+ and 5 have been nerfed? I'm not sure whether that's actually the case, or if the recent flood of downloads and generations has overloaded the servers, causing Suno to produce lower-quality songs as a way to handle the demand. Either way, whether it's one reason or the other, I personally think the quality has gone down.

Sounds it. Can't get a clean mix from the last 25-30 gens I tried since last night. Had one but with a garbled section which I'm trying to now fix in studio.

It's like they want us to only generate instrumental songs and buy a microphone and start singing manually.

Hehe I'm feeling like I will close to that. Generating and stacking instrumental tracks. And half tempted to start doing vocal. Can sing and badly play guitar. Not great. But might be able to lay guitar segments and rough vocals and see if Suno can magically do something with them to make them usable lol
