It's worth noting Neptune clouds are doing similar due to the suns 11 year solar cycle.

AI summary; "Yes, astronomers have observed that Neptune's prominent clouds have largely disappeared, and NASA scientists suggest this phenomenon is linked to the sun's 11-year solar cycle and its impact on Neptune's atmosphere"

The article has 1.5% per decade and that's over the past 2 decades, which could be accounted for by the measuring point, especially with an 11 year solar cycle.
