I maxed cooking to 20 and believe i have been consistently getting in the 230$ range if I'm the only one jamming as recently as last night. Now suddenly it's les than half of what I was getting as a lone jammer, 83$ per session. on full lots I was getting 550ish. Now its around 170. What gives? Is this any kind of known bug? Feature? Something I could get help with? Very disheartening to have leveled up cooking so much and now its not getting me any $...
