Cut quality & parts
Cutting is slower than before
When cut speed drops step by step the wear parts are usually at their end.
Safety first: Switch off the pump, release all pressure (open the on/off valve or bleed-down valve) and lock out before you open any high-pressure part. Never put a hand or tool near a running jet.

Most likely
A wider bore weakens the jet.
How to check: Measure the exit bore; replace at about +0.1 mm.
