I am pretty sure the era of no degree is over. Anyone else noticing this?

I have almost 8 YOE experience working in B2B SaaS doing full stack. I broke into the industry in early 2018 without a degree and being completely self taught. Note, I have no degree at all. I did go to college and almost completed my AA, but found work that paid pretty well at the time (not tech related) and off I went. I have been on the market for ~2 months now, and I have noticed I am getting zero traction, unlike before 2022. My last role lasted 4 years and moved to a Senior position. I had been removed from the market this whole time, woefully unaware of what has been going on. Have sent ~150 targeted applications and always an auto reject. Granted it's only been 2 months, but to have a 0/150 interview rate from cold apps is unlike anything I have experienced in the past. I am not spraying and praying, I apply to positions that match my experience. I have also had a technical resume writer rewrite my resume entirely. Right now, I am solely relying on LinkedIn recruiters at this point. I have exhausted my personal network; the few people I can hit up have all said their companies unfortunately are not hiring. Targeting remote, AND in person / hybrid. I am seeing more and more listings asking for CS or equivalent degree. They do mention, "or relevant experience," but the thing is, when a job has 300 applicants, the first filter likely is the degree. I have spoken to many recruiters via LinkedIn and they have all gone nowhere. I get past the initial phone screen no problem, and the recruiter will submit me to the hiring manager of the job, and I hear nothing back after. I was wondering what was happening, and finally a recruiter called me to tell me that a job she submitted me for told her that they are prioritizing candidates with a degree. I have also interviewed about 5 times, passed first rounds and also second round technicals, to only be ghosted. I am currently getting my B.S. as we speak, and should be done in ~7 months. Luckily I was already working on it
