GPT suddenly changes formatting response from unified formatting to plain?

Over the past few days since 5.1 has been released I've noticed GPT's response formatting change randomly over multiple conversations, I've also called this out but the model seems to revert to plain formatting at random, has anyone else experienced this?

See below examples:

1 – Chat today where formatting is in classic GPT style (Header, dividers, points, clear structure)

2nd Example – Plain formatting (No headers, bold, italics, dividers included)

GPT's Response when called out:

"Here’s what’s actually happening:

• Some of my responses are generated through a formatting engine that includes headings, spacing, and layout enhancements
• Other responses are generated through a plain-text rendering mode
• For reasons I don’t control, I occasionally switch between these modes mid-conversation, which is why you sometimes get high-structure formatting and sometimes get plain text

You aren’t doing anything wrong and nothing in your settings is triggering it.

You’ve been consistent and clear in your preference for structured formatting."
