The current behaviour is indeed intended. There was a bug since at least August last year that supressed revolts in most of the cases, which is now fixed. So revolts should now happen again more frequently. Also the displayed revolt chance got corrected, since it also showed wrong values.There were also quite a few forum threads open regarding this topic here in the bug reporting section.
But you are right that we should have published an upfront hint that this mechanic gets fixed so players can prepare. Sorry that we didn't do it.

I was talking about revolts happening at all, and their frequency. This part works as intended now.We didnt touch the logic which determines to which country it rebels to. This may still be not the most optimal solution but it wasnt part of the bugfix.
Having played CoW for over three years, it has been an ongoing issue regarding morale and all of the pentiaties to it that cause rebellions. In my mind, these two are interconnected. Thankfully, some of this is addressed in 1.5 such as the removal of penalties for being at war with countries.
However, this reversion to pre-August 2019 has been more impactful on rebellions and not welcomed. In one map (America Homebound) I had 13 rebellions at day change. Some of these had one Infantry on them, they were overthrown (in the past that use to be enough army strength). Lost an AC on the plains to a coalition member and he got my AC. In one instance, Arkansas that had lost his capital and entire core, was rewarded with eight provinces (and 2 working IC's somehow) back. He had one province in Far West Mexico. Lost provinces to AI's.

This is not how war works. Thrown out the window are Blitzkrieg advances as I had almost every province rebel that was taken along the way. Did the Netherlands and Belgium rebel when Germany advanced into Paris? Obviously no.
The only solution I see is a trench warfare WWI approach where you have a massed frontline, with troops in the rear, to slowly and boringly, move forward. Or gold for morale.
Either way, this is way overblown and was no this aggressive pre-August 2019. And I know all the "tips and tricks" such as capturing capitals, not having enemmy provinces next to you, etc. and so on.
Long story short, this sucks and will stop playing until addressed.
