Back after 6 months off, can't approach a planet in SC

Hi everyone, I'm back after a break. I don't know what changed, but the old 75% throttle at 7 seconds to a planet trick to a smooth approach doesn't seem to work anymore. What gives? I've done so many loops of shame here in 3.0 already...
 
For planets, cut to 50% throttle at about 5Mm.

75% still works for stations, but you have to listen carefully to the tone of the engine and reduce throttle quickly if you hear it rise. When coming in to a gas giant with multiple moons, you'll often bleed speed more quickly and slow down to 9 seconds. in those instances, increase throttle momentarily to get you back to 6 seconds.
