Default SPOT 3 now reporting altitude?

My flight on Saturday looked the same but only on the GPAero site. My SPOT traking page reports no altitude info.

Some reasonably accurate altitudes except when the altitude doesnt show up.

When I renewed my SPOT data for another year they left the price the same as i asked, and they told me that they are coming out with a new device that will be cheaper than the Garmin InReach and have more functionality, which is why the data plan pricing is changing. I have no idea if the above is a sales pitch or the truth but I drank the cool-aid for another year.
