Did they turn off the special challenges?

When the new DLC went live we got several challenges that lasted a week.
But i haven't been able to see these anymore. Where they turned off?
I couldn't find any information about it and i'm curious, since it seemed to only last a week and they were quite large in the amount of things that we needed to do.

If i was turned off, was there any news about it coming back?
Or are these challenges once again being difficult to see most of the time?

For context my players are in a spelljammer campaign and recently came out of a hard dungeon with a lot of fun goodies.

They also decided to steal some bedrolls and pillows being used by their opponent. The idea being they're a general nuisance.

I found this hilarious, but also described the beds and area they took it from weren't the most well kept.

Now we're going in a travel section next time and i was thinking instead of random encounter they fly into, to introduce a infestation they brought along with then by stealing the bedrolls and pillows. Think bedbugs/ lice anything else it might have carried.

My biggest problem however is that I'm not sure how to run this encounter, I'm thinking about using the infestation cantrip for inspiration. But also looking for more input how to make this encounter interesting, perhaps in the type of infestation, spells to use an inspiration. How to potentially play this encounter.

I don't intend it to be difficult as far combat goes, but i want it to be puzzle they got to solve or it keeps returning as they didn't properly deal with it. A potential constant minor nuisance.
