Bing stops manual PPC?! Results Dwindle

I´ve always found that every automated strategy from Bing and Google ads runs up my budget and I´ve done far better with manual PPC.
Last month, Bing disabled the ability to use this bidding strategy.
I never received an email with a heads up, in fact I didn´t notice that my bidding strategies had changed but I did notice a lose in performance of about 10% on lead costs.
I was scratching my head trying to figure out what changed.
I mean, it´s bad enough that the platforms are basically setup to trick you into using automated strategies, and are full of lies.. (Warning: using manual PPC will result in poor performance)
Has anyone else seen a loss in performance since this change??

You mean manual CPC... It never stopped. It's still active. Anyway you can use their support chat.

I spoke to support and they said it was ended in August. No option for it in my account anymore.

I cant see the manual bidding option either. Support says it has been depreciated worldwide
