Yesterday’s Apex Legends patch was a bit of a mess. The official list of changes it introduced were relatively minor, but a leaver penalty, which would introduce penalties for dropping from a game too early, wasn’t even in the patch notes. (Never mind that whole progress reset bug.) After players realised the penalty had been implemented, Respawn disabled it, and there’s no indication of when or if it will come back.

“Internally, we have been working on and testing this feature but it wasn’t our intention or plan to have it go live with the update that went out today,” Respawn says on Reddit (via Dexerto). “There was a piece of script that was missing and caused the leaving match early penalty to be turned on when it shouldn’t be.”

If you left three matches early during the brief time when the penalty was live, you would get a five minute timeout where you could no longer join another game. Leaving early in this case also includes dropping from a match while waiting for your teammates to respawn you.
