It seems that some of the analysis of positions that's been saved in the server is not working properly today. For example, at the position after 1.e4, I get a server analysis of depth 27 (when I want 5 lines). Surely it used to be much deeper than 27 in that position. Did something change?
@ZinkBav that might be local refreshing normally helps
No, it is still going on. Try it yourself.
Is it a database problem or, perhaps, Lichess changed how things work?
