In April 2021, PSR J1713+0747 - a high-priority millisecond pulsar for the pulsar timing community - exhibited a significant and unprecedented, long-lasting profile change event. To date, the profile remains affected. The event now has the pulsar timing community considering if millisecond pulsars, a cornerstone in key astrophysics experiments, are as stable as we once thought.
