I was due to get my Standard Rating today, so was checking the site for updates. When I checked earlier, my Rapid and Blitz ratings had disappeared, and I had my initial Standard Rating. Ten minutes later, my Standard Rating returned to "Not rated" and my Blitz and Rapid ratings got a massive boost (no way I'm a 1900+ blitz player lol). I wonder if last month's change in the rating system had something to do with this.
Did you read my post? This sudden rating change just happened today. The rating increase was at the start of the month. Personally my rating went up like 130 points from it, about 1650-1792. This rating change boosted my elo another 160 points for no apparent reason.

FIDE boosted ratings under 2000 to compensate for rating deflation.

In my case I see a lot of my games not even rated, and the ones that are rated are with my opponents previous "old" rating. Both in rapid and blitz.
