Static GetAsync stopped working?

did a recent change possibly break static async service method calls? One of our simple services started getting a 404.

Is there any recent change that might have stopped static GetAsync methods to stop firing?

does not work (404 not found):

class SomeService : Service
{
    public static async Task<SomeDto> GetAsync(SomeDto req) => 
        await SomeServiceFactory.GetObject(req);
}

works:

class SomeService : Service
{
    public async Task<SomeDto> GetAsync(SomeDto req) => 
        await SomeServiceFactory.GetObject(req);
}

static Service methods should never have worked, always using public instance methods.

The factories can be static, though correct? SomeServiceFactory.GetObject()

What static factories? Are you seeing this somewhere in the docs?
