Is Pain Resonance buffed in the last patch?
When I was watching video, I saw the scene that Pain resonance token was not consumed and also Damage Generator score event not popped up. However, later on, when that survivor was hooked again on scourge hook, the token was consumed and the score event also popped up.
I thought it was a bug in first place, but I started to think that devs buffed Pain Res token not to be consumed but conserved when none of the gens have any progress. Was this on patch notes and I just missed? Or BHVR just skipped mentioning it on patch notes?

Perk triggers the first time a survivor is hooked on the scourge hook. If the first hook is not a scourge hook but the second time it is it will still trigger. You can also trigger it as sacrifise hook.

I know that. That survivor was hooked on Scourge hook on both first time and second time. But Pain Res didn't activate on the first hook.

I noticed this too once I think. My first Survivor was on scourge hook but it didn't trigger Pain Ress. My quess is maybe when gen has 0% on whole map, it doesnt activate then.

Do you think this is a bug or intended feature?

I've heard some say that if the targeted generator is blocked, Pain Res doesn't consume a token anymore. Before it would consume the token but not regress the generator at all, wasting it completely, so maybe they changed that.

pain res + deadlock = gen with highest progress that is not blocked by entity gets hit by pain res
pain res + grim embrace = while all gens are affected by grim embrace pain res does not activate
surge + grim embrace = gens blocked by the entity lose 8% progress from surge, but do not continue to regress until unblocked
pain res is very inconsistent in the way it interacts with entity blocked generators, and its been changed multiple times in the past for how it specifically interacts with deadlock and repressed alliance. this is how it's functioning as of patch 7.5.0, but who knows how it'll exist again in the future. i can only assume that the pain res/ge combo functions similar to the pain res/deadlock combo, but since theres no unblocked gens for pain res to activate on, the token gets preserved instead.
