I am sure that is not a uncommon issue but I could not find anything on this topic.
I am trying to slow down a simple explosion with the retime SOP and I have successfully done this before with smoke but now that I am trying with explosion I am having issues of flickering the fire and scatter. Maybe it is a bug with this version but it is very pronounced even on the density side, It is kind of messing with the density each frame frequently.
I am trying to retime by a very low speed like 0.3 of the total but I don'think I have ever had this problem before but yeah it is a pretty extreme slow down, is it normal to have this issue pushing like this?

Am I missing something?
Any tips?

I would really appreciate any help, thanks.

I am using Houdini 20.5 build 654.
