About 18 months ago when DJI got rid of GEO fencing they also raised the theoretical MAX altitude too 1000 meters from the standard 500 meters. Haven't taken out my Air 3 for a number of months and noticed that MAX altitude is now back at 500 meters. Not that I need all that height but does anyone know what happened to cause this change?
What happened too MAX Altitude?

You misunderstood the 1000m capability. It only exists when more than 50km from the nearest airport. Everywhere else, it remains 500m.

The removal of GEO eliminated the U.S. airport limitations on height for some newer aircraft, but unfortunately not the bleed over of GEO height limitations from Canada and Mexico in U.S. border cities within 50km of an airport in either Canada or Mexico.
I did, too, through a Custom Unlock that now no longer works, but DJI can't seem to fix it. Likely a bug or an intentional limitation, despite GEO removal.
Not so with my setup. I live 5 miles from a large airport and had the ability to fly 1000 meters or 3280 feet if I chose to do so. DJI must have switched it back in a later firmware update. I'll contact DJI tomorrow and get an answer
