The BOLT11 spec is blunt about it: reusing a Lightning invoice is "actively dangerous." One invoice, one payment, forever drilled into everyone.
BOLT12 fixes this by publishing something you're finally allowed to paste everywhere and never rotate — an "offer." It just quietly generates a brand new invoice behind the scenes for every single person who pays it. The rule didn't get softer. Your node just started lying to you about it for your own good.
