Sorry if this has been asked before, but I just outperformed myself on my top osu! play, and got a new top play on that map and overall, and it's worth 5pp less than my last play, so I lost 5pp. Is this normal?

It is possible to lose pp for a play if you use the same mod combination as the score you beat.

Accuracy and misses are an important factor in the amount of pp you will gain for a play.
It is possible to beat a score with worse accuracy and lose pp that way. It is also possible to beat your score slightly, but with more misses, and lose pp that way.
