Was robbing the drunken rat changed?

I just robbed "A Furious and Incoherent Rat" with modified Shadowy 257 and got only 100 Fistfuls of Surface Currency, where usually it gives 128.
I've had a similar occurrence before, but then the next time it was the usual amount. Has this happened to anyone else?

This has never happened to me that I've noticed and I've used it a lot. The theory of switching outfits and requiring 1 action before it being updated properly sounds plausible to me, though; I'm never in Spite *unless* I'm robbing rats, and I usually switch outfits before I move locations. IIRC, switching london locations is considered to be an action by the game, just one that doesn't cost any action points.

It has often happened to me when I went 1) go to the spite and pick the storylet 2) realize I don't have proper outfit 3) switch tab, switch costume, switch tab bak 4) play the branch
It has almost never happened when I went 1) I want to rob a rat! 2) change costume 3) travel to spite 4) storylet, branch
I presume timing shenanigans between server instances.

It has happened to me several times as well. If you have enough Someone is Coming to rob the rat a second time straight, you'll see the second (and third and fourth) time you do get floor(Shadowy/2). I associated it with equipping your Shadowy gear just for performing this action (in contrast to having spent several actions with your Shadowy gear already on). For some reason, it sometimes uses your natural Shadowy (or maybe your *previous* modified Shadowy).
I contacted support back in 2016 about this but the guy running my ticket didn't seem able to replicate the issue. Ah, well, it's a minor glitch anyway.
