It seems another hotfix has been pushed for the Infinite reputation farm, making it harder to get reputation from each seed.
While the reputation was buffed earlier, it seems to have been made harder to get the reputation bonus. This is what players think is the new hotfix.
We'll do more testing and update this if we find out more clearly exactly what this does. But for now, try to always plant a seed to get reputation, but it's weird that Blizzard did this almost 24 hours after the Patch went live, especially when they buffed reputation gains earlier in the day. This sucks for players who weren't able to farm the reputation already.
