Found out my espresso machine pressure was off after 2 years of bad shots

I kept pulling sour shots from my Gaggia Classic and blamed the beans, the grind, everything. Took me about 18 months to finally buy a pressure gauge and realize I was running at 11 bars instead of 9. Has anyone else had a machine run wrong for way longer than it should've?

11 bars is actually pretty standard for most pressurized baskets, not a real issue.

Not really a big deal.
