Two clocks, and why they disagree
Kyma measures this model twice. Both are real; they answer different questions.

One fixed prompt, on a schedule, to every model. Comparable, because the model is the only thing that changes.

The gap is prompt length, not the model degrading. Use the probe figure to choose between models, the traffic figure to budget for your own.
