My question is stated in the subject. Hope the answer is NO; because from what I’ve observed, plotting is already very hard in 3g.

thanks,

I estimate the completion time for 3f plotting to be 30 days, but the current completion time for 3g plotting is over 100 days. I don’t understand why the team made this decision. At this rate, my plotting might not be completed by the time the testnet ends.

Replotting is a key part of the protocol as described in [What triggers a sector to start replotting](https://forum.autonomys.xyz/t/what-triggers-a-sector-to-start-replotting/1688), it is not going away
