Maybe Google was testing your new domain, typically when you do a change of domain search traffic drops. At least according to my experience and others I have observed. After a while it picks back up and slow climbs to the previous level and sometimes surpasses it.
Yours acted differently, give it time and perhaps send some links to power your domain.
now, it's gotten worse, we went from 50,000 impressions to 2,500 per day
there are many fewer pages but the position of those that remain is stable, it has not worsened, but out of 5000 pages those that bring traffic are only 600

hint, key problem here is "5000 pages" .
Even though you think this is small, I suggest now you have discovered what a fresh domain can do, test with much smaller and targetted subsets..... actually small, not thousands. I know it is annoying, but not to give everything away, you might discover something pretty nice if you know what I mean.
Once you fuck up a domain like this, it takes long to even get it back, so use a clean one.

This suggests that Google initially evaluated your new domain favorably, but then the algorithms drove traffic back down to previous levels. You may have experienced a temporary “fresh site boost” effect. For a permanent boost, you should continue with strong content and SEO efforts.
this is the graph of the old domain, the domain change started on December 10th, before the domain change the traffic of the old one was about 900 clicks per day, now the new domain since February 4th has dropped to 200 clicks per day
