The actual update link:

https://www.linkedin.com/posts/katalyst-space_over-the-last-48-hours-the-katalyst-team-activity-7488722727298818048-mApL

(I hate when this stuff is only on shitter and linkedIn and not their press release page)

reduced LINK’s spin rate from approximately 9 degrees per second to approximately 4 degrees per second

That's a lot less bad than I expected. Great progress. The hall thruster being on a gimbal must be a huge help. I'll still be stunned if this isn't a loss of mission, but this is impressive work so far.
