Can you elaborate on the mechanism of this degradation? If resources are not available I would expect a request to fail with a message about resources not available. Do they tweak back end model capabilities to maintain service in a degraded state?

It shouldn’t be an excuse. They are selling a product and that product should always be within the quality range.

Especially with the frequent releases aka version bumps.

Why would reallocating resources make a single inference run worse in quality?

On what basis are you claiming this?
