Season 6 Pregens and 1st level characters

In anticipation of the ACG pregens showing up at some point, I read the pregen rules in the season 6 guide to organized play.

Guide to Organized Play wrote:
If you play a non-1st-level pregenerated character, you may apply credit from the pregenerated character to one of your 1st-level characters, with the gp gained reduced to 1,398 gp (or 699 gp for slow advancement track characters).

The similar block in Season 5 says "Reduce to 500gp" so this looks like an intentional change.

That seems very out of line with normal level 1 Chronicle sheets. Has there been a drastic escalation of payouts? Hitting level 2 with almost triple what an organically played character would have seem wrong.

Check which section of the Guide you are in. That is the section for module play, not scenario play, and was the same in 5.0.

1 XP Scenario or Free RPG Day module: reduce to 500 gp
3 XP module: Reduce to 1,398 gp

Page 6, scenario rules: You may also opt instead to apply the Chronicle sheets earned with a non-1st level pregenerated character to a 1st-level character with the amount of gp gained reduced to 500 gp (or 250 gp for characters using the slow advancement track).

Page 30, module rules: If you play a non-1st-level pregenerated character, you may apply credit from the pregenerated character to one of your 1st-level characters, with the gp gained reduced to 1,398 gp (or 699 gp for slow advancement track characters).
