is there any reason to believe the FIA changed something about the tests they do every week?
I normally wouldn't expect this to have much influence, apart from the mental side maybe, getting overly cautious, like Mercedes was in Interlagos two or three years ago.
They didn't change anything. 2 weeks ago a technical directive was sent banning temperature devices in the skid.
didn't we debunk that already?
The Japanese article lists grandprix.com as source for it. And there's nothing on that site at all.

Not sure if you are familiar with them, but this japanese website is a very good source. They don't post fairytales or clickbait.
I also saw the story on one of the italian sources, which I can't recall now. I think it was autoracer.
