Buff Cut Loose (Thalita Lyra)
In patch 8.6.0, along with the release of The Ghoul, Quick and Quiet, Deception, Dance With Me, and Red Herring were buffed with the following reason:
"While these Perks specialize in misdirecting the Killer, we’ve found that their cooldowns don’t match their value. By reducing their cooldowns and increasing the duration of their effects (specifically Deception and Dance With Me), we hope to give these off-meta Perks a better chance at value in deception-based builds."
Cut Loose is similar to Quick and Quiet in that it suppresses vault sounds, but only does so after fast vaulting once. You then have six seconds to FINISH a vault (not just start a vault) if you want to refresh the time the perk is active. Once you fail to end a fast vault on a window or pallet within 6 seconds (even if you didn't get a single one), Cut Loose goes on cooldown for an entire fourty-five seconds.
For reference, Finesse (currently a strong perk, especially when paired with Dramaturgy) has a cooldown of thirty seconds. The value Cut Loose gives is very minimal (making it a definitively off-meta pick), and often doesn't activate in the first place because you might not vault within 6 seconds of your first vault. Therefore, I believe Cut Loose deserves the following changes:
-CHANGE: Decreased the cooldown to 30/25/20 seconds (was 45 seconds).
-CHANGE: Time to refresh is now always 6 seconds (was 4/5/6 seconds).
-BUG FIX: A refresh is now granted as long as the vault was started during the timer, not just ended during the timer.
-QUALITY OF LIFE: Cut Loose's cooldown is halved if it never refreshed

Cut Loose has been one of my favorite perks conceptually since its release, but it's so hard to ever actually get value out of it (and even when I do the value is small). I usually just end up equipping something stronger because Cut Loose just doesn't work often or well enough.

Agree with this, and I'd actually buff the duration to 8 seconds as well. 6 feels just a little too short a lot of the time.

They should remove the cooldown of quick & quiet and rework cut lose. There is literally no point for cut lose to exist at this point. Quick and quiet has already basically no cooldown.
