When did the thinking-time parameters change?

A fast game now starts with over 2 minutes of thinking time; it used to be 1:45. Did BGA explain this change?

Thinking time for real time games changes over time based on average player behavior.

My understanding is that players are now taking a bit longer on average to play games, even in fast mode and the clocks were running low often.

Perhaps the new cards have made players think more and slow down?

Miserable IMO. I long for a BLITZ mode on BGA. Many of my games have opponents taking 4x+ the time that I do.
