This is going to be three separate Reddit posts researched by users. tl;dr: In Destiny 2, there appears to be an experience cool down if you earn it too quickly, which slows your ability to earn bright engrams in game. Furthermore, this cool down isn't immediately apparent to the player, since the number that shows is a much higher amount than what is actually being earned.

So I am going to rip a thread from Reddit and get it in here, fun topic. What is something that makes absolutely no sense to you?

"The problem seems to be that when they make a change and it backfires, rather than undo the change, they find all these other variables to alter in hopes that everything just aligns. Like, imagine Bungie had a sprinkler for their lawn, and in an effort to water more of their lawn with the 1 sprinkler, they move the sprinkler. Turns out, less of the lawn is getting water. Rather than move the sprinkler back, or somewhere in between the first two places, Bungie starts investigating into Water pressure, hose girth, and the angle of the arc of water. Just move the damn sprinkler back." ----- Discuss? I would be okay with this junk if Bungie just admitted fault once in awhile. "Auto rifle buff didn't do anything? Uhh... A mistake? No, we didn't screw up implementing it, it's working as intended! The patch notes? Typo... The preview notes, forum posts, and tweets dating back 2 months? Typos, all typos." Just go, "There was an error in implementing the buffs in the last patch, we'll fix it in the next hotfix."
