Context: We are using this API for testing performance of selective pages https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/insights/v5/reference/pagespeedapi/runpagespeed
Problem statement: Till 18th Aug 22, the values in response code, used to be in similar ranges when user is manually checking scores at https://pagespeed.web.dev/. However, post 18th Aug, the some of the values have dropped significantly while Performance_score which used to be in decimals has started giving a response code as 1 - indicating 100 performance for mobile strategy - which we believe to be a data error.
Screenshot 1: Depicting score being reported as 1 (Being decimal, indicates as 100 score in API explorer)
Screenshot 2: Depicting score being reported as 61 when same URL is hit manually at https://pagespeed.web.dev/ enter image description here
