Over five post-perihelion months the modeled-to-observed electron density ratio at Rosetta fell from over ten to about one, with the transition opposite to what ion-neutral coupling inside the decoupling radius would predict.
Rosetta approached 67P in August 2014 at a heliocentric distance of d~3.6 AU

The evolution of the electron number density in the coma of comet 67P at the location of Rosetta from 2015 November through 2016 March
Over five post-perihelion months the modeled-to-observed electron density ratio at Rosetta fell from over ten to about one, with the transition opposite to what ion-neutral coupling inside the decoupling radius would predict.
