Reflection Probes suddenly do not isolate from environment on main grid

Reflection Probes are not isolating me from the Environment like they used to. Tested in both newest SL and Firestorm Beta viewers. WENT TO THE BETA GRID (SLURL below) and a Probe I planted works fine in BOTH viewers!
(I am not sure when this started; it has been a week or two since I tried this with a probe but I only discovered it today, [REDACTED 1].)

I made 2 photo montages that may help you.
This is the Main Grid: https://flic.kr/p/2qHFGLT
This is the Beta Grid: https://flic.kr/p/2qHBtJN
You can see much more inside/outside difference on the Beta grid. That's the effect that I've seen for the past year until now.

Dana Enyo: The results are going to depend on the EEP setting on the parcel and the settings of the reflection probe. I also would be surprised if this was different on the Beta grid than the main grid. Can you point me to the locations on Agni and Aditi where you are testing?

Dan Linden On the Beta grid I was at secondlife://util.aditi.lindenlab.com/secondlife/Rumpus%20Room%202048/151/93/23 (inside the red square that I assume marks a rez zone).
I rezzed my houseboat there (so I was standing on the same floor surface as on my main grid photos). In that Beta grid photo I linked above (here again: https://flic.kr/p/2qHBtJN ) you can see the the probe is having the proper effect; you're seeing less of the environment inside the probe than outside.
On the Main grid I was at my home; if it's OK I'd rather not put that SLURL here. It's a normal mainland sim.
(I just visited that same spot on the Beta and created a probe; it definitely works exactly the way it should.)

Hi Dana,
What do you mean they are not isolating me from the Environment? Please describe step by step what you are doing and what you expected to see. Feel free to attach a screenshot or video if it will be helpful.

Dan Linden I mean that (for example) if lighting is MIDDAY, then my bright chrome PBR outfit should be extremely bright and reflect the sky when outside the Probe. But when I go inside it, the suit should become much darker. And if I cycle thru the default day settings (Sunrise, Midday, Sunset, Midnight) it should change much less inside the probe than outside.
The BIG surprise was going to the beta grid and having the probe behave as it did before. Tomorrow I can do some photos for you.
I did a little video last year showing how it should look (but does NOT look now): https://flic.kr/p/2pxVtuM
