Despite saying "... However, it seems the device has been overloaded for the time being. Perhaps tomorrow it will be usable again."

The water purifier is never usable until the game reboots, as far as I've been able to tell, checking over the course of 8 IRL hours/2~ in game days.

I have no way to confirm this on live or test so I can only ask to look into it to confirm, or if it's intended behavior to only refresh on reboots.

I feel like this was changed after some community backlash about "Duyuei getting free things" since it was (and still is) illegal for outsiders to use it?

whats wrong about Duyuei's getting free things?

It was not changed, this is how it has behaved since the start of Korvara. Currently it's not a bug for it to behave this way, despite the confusing message.
