I miss the Puzzle Graph

It showed the inclination or declination of Progress
I think it should be right in the puzzles section, not on a separate page. The idea is you see it and you push yourself to deeper levels of thinking. It was good. That's why they killed it, and why now you cannot think too long on a puzzle. Today for example I was ready to solve a puzzle, but had to leave. When I came back, the puzzle changed to something else. I can't go to the old puzzle since if you click on the puzzle url the puzzle won't count. So, I have no idea if my ideas were right or not, and no way of testing my thinking. Such a waste of time. Needless to say I hate the changes. Nobody else seems to notice or care. They are all into stuff like puzzle dash where you spend 1-2 seconds per puzzle.
Right, I didn't understand that change either. It is not clear when a puzzle counts and when not.
@Sybotes, I think, anyone please correct me if I am wrong, that the puzzle always counts if you never had clicked on the url of the puzzle, a method proposed here that prevents the puzzle from changing while you are working on it. (The puzzle will change after a certain amount of time on it's own if you go to another tab and come back, or if the browser is not always in the foreground and a certain amount of time has elapsed.)

I don't know the amount of time they have in the code. If you do know please share but be sure to tag my name so I get a notification. I suspect small-penis users of lichess think anyone spending "too long" on a puzzle should not be allowed to use the scoring algorithm, and get jealous if poor chess players like me want to think what they deem is too long/deep on a puzzle, since at the end of the day it might lower their own puzzle rating and this makes them depressed and angry since they deem it unfair to them, the vastly superior chess players and overall superior persons. The lichess code is allegedly open source but I forget how to use git and it would take me hours to figure out where this in my opinion horrible small penis/anti-cheating puzzle code, inserted around January 2021, is located.

Overall I think it is part of the movement to popularize speed chess, which solves the draw problem without resorting to lowering the draw reward from 1/2 to 1/4. The $1.5 million Meltwater 15-minute chess tournament being a glaring example.
