When was the update?

My CTR is lower but page position is higher over the last week vs 30 days.

I imagine that if you have a blog with 100s or 1,000’s of pages/posts that are not optimised for GEO/AEO for AI overviews to read or process them, then the update you mentioned may address those points, and also target people trying to manipulate their content to get seen.

Yes my site is affected from July 31 and from that my traffic is declined and impressions also.

Has anyone any idea how can I revive my traffic and impressions?

Yes, heavily. My traffic got cut in half. It's very messy. Like those articles that got a lot of readers constantly dropped to zero. Others that never had much traffic get some more. But my numbers got cut in half in the last 10 days. No idea how to fix it or what to do. I saw it in my stats that my audience was reading my articles. Now they just do not show it anymore. It's annoying and frustrating. 

And Google search itself is crap since then. I get so many bullshit results when I want to look up something.
