Thanks for reporting! There have been extensive changes to durability for release 30.

Via the R30 post:

"Maximum Durability: When you repair items at a Crafting Station, it now only repairs current durability, albeit more efficiently than using a Repair Kit in the field. Maximum Durability is no longer repaired when an item is repaired at a crafting station unless a Crown of the Obsidian is used as an ingredient. As part of this change, we have halved the rate at which maximum durability decreases. This means that items will now eventually break and not be repairable unless you find a rare COTO and are willing to spend it to save the item. This change is to create a real need for crafters to constantly generate weapons and armor for the player driven economy while still providing players opportunities to preserve certain unique items on rare occasions. As part of this change, we have normalized durability for all the items to the following values:

• Hands: 50
• Feet: 50
• Helm: 80
• Legs: 100
• Chest: 100 (partial) or 150 (full)
• Shield: 100
• Weapons: 100
• Ring/Amulet: 50"
