I’ve been seeing an increasing number of aircraft flying extreme altitudes outside the norm, and its always an aircraft thats flying “in the background”. Some altitudes are steady, and other times these altitudes are increasing as if the plane was attached to a rocket ship. [Screenshot_20250703_19…

Yeah, it’s an issue with autopilot+ that they’ll hopefully have fixed before too long.
