Is AlphaRatio slowly being abandoned?

I am asking because it frequently goes down, like once or twice every month. Even then, sometimes it takes a couple of days to get back to working. Once, it took about 5-6 days to get back to working.

Also, for about two months now, it has been in global freeleech. Being in freeleech for a week or two is okay, but for 2 months?

That's why I'm feeling it is being slowly abandoned.
