You have to set up everything like you used to, but, before exporting you must go to the timeline and right click - settings and change the color output there to REC709A. You will notice your client monitor (via ultra studio) changes back to a darker gamma. Your export will be perfect again. I´ve struggled with this problem for a few days until I´ve found out this solution.
Hope this work for you too.

I saw this hours ago and wrote it off as not possibly the fix. It's 100% the fix.
I use a flavor the usual 709-A transform we all do, hundred and hundreds of times, every day, since it came out. Timeline CST node, 2.4 > 709-A, neutralizes the shift in ColorSync/HTML5 on render. Great. Except the last few days I've noticed it no longer truly cancels out, and the web upload remains darker than it should.
BUT.... Took Gabriel's advice, then reimported both tests (my usual way and his suggestion), and uploaded both to Frame, and sure enough,
Changing the output to 709-A via either the timeline settings or project settings, instead of via CST node, actually neutralizes the gamma shift correctly. FWIW, I also tagged 709-A on export here.
Really don't love taking hours to scour forums only to find out that a trusted tool for online color accuracy just... doesn't work all of a sudden? Am I missing something? I've already reproduced it. What would cause this?
