The +5% discipline is already excellent, but in 1.8 you now benefit from -0.2 monthly autonomy, basically this triples the autonomy decay. I don't know if this was intended or not.

Presumably being an absolute monarchy makes horrible revolution events more likely.

More advanced government types increase the montly authonomy rduction. Constitutional monarchy and enlighted despotism gives -.3, though I still prefer absoultism :)

It does a lot more then triple the decay, since the government bonus also applies while at war.

But no, it's not really any more overpowered then it used to be. The decay is supposed to go up as more advanced governments show up. If anything, maybe the governments after it now have a chance to be picked up occasionally as they have slightly more decay.
