Did Autosteer limits change in the last patch?

I was headed on a fairly long trip to visit friends for the 4th of July and left the car on AP and Navigate on AP as much as possible. Now maybe I'm just having a "senior moment" here but I could have sworn that on most side roads I could have left AP to go more than +5mph over before

But starting with that trip, it seems Tesla was limited AP to +5 over unless I was on the highway. Is that new?

Also, I don't often have folks in the car with me but this time I did, so I made use of the carpool lane. The AP constantly wanted me to get out of the carpool lane in order to follow the route. I just ignored it but it was annoying to have a red line there for a good chunk of the drive. Any way to get around this? I usually have it set to avoid carpool lanes since I drive solo, but I turned that off mid drive and it didn't seem to make a difference.

It's possible the map classifications changed for those roads. Map updates can occur independent of firmware updates.

It still lets you go more than 5 over speed limit just depends on the road. I drive a road daily that starts out 2 lane undivided 60mph and allows me to increase while in AP 5+ or more until I get into a small town where it progressively slows to 50, 40 then 30 and at each of those changes the car limits AP to +5 the posted speed. once I get to the other side of town and the road turns into 4 lane divided the speeds ramp back up 35,45,50 and 60 AP remains limited until I get to the 60 zone and the I can ramp speed 5+ or more at that point again.
