Essence Scarab of Ascent buggering atlas skills

Specifically, with all essence skills selected in the Atlas tree I would get 3-5 essences in each essence monster.

As soon as I began using the Essence Scarab of Ascent suddenly I only get 1 or 2 essences per essence monster, maximum.

Also used is the Essence Scarab of Stability - but I had used those previously and the number of essences per monster was not reduced (3-5 on average).

Is this intentional? It is not in any of the descriptors for essence scarabs (i.e. reduced quantity of essences per monster).
Patch Notes 3.15:
Fixed a bug where players believed the game was playable. This has been corrected and made retroactive.
Patch Notes 3.19:
Fixed a bug where players adapted to 3.15. This bug cannot be corrected, so we have implemented a 90% reduction in item access as a punishment.

Interesting.

Removed all scarabs and... still only getting 1 to 2 essences, despite having all essence atlas passives (except the one that puts them all on the map boss) selected.

Wider bug than just a scarab, it seems.
