I know this is a YouTube issue but if it happened to you, please comment on their help forums:
Google Groups
My known 60fps videos since July 24th have been reduced from 1080p60 to 1080p30

Anyone else?

**UPDATE** All back to normal 23 Aug 18 @1200 Central Daylight Time.

I looked up your video... "Litchi 4 Mile Waypoint Mission - July 24, 2018" and watched it in 1080p60 HD. I had to switch from the auto setting to do so, but it worked. Is this what you are referring to?
 
Anything after July 24th is not 60fps
I stand corrected and you are right as I went back and looked at a couple of the latest ones. They are still at 1080p but the frame rate is not listed in the settings but is shown in the "Stats for Nerds" popup window. That is weird though. Maybe they are getting stingy with their server space but if that was the case, they would change all 60fps videos I am sure. Are you going to contact them about this? Aren't you a YouTube Premium member?
 
This is not correct.
Search youtube for 60p videos, and sort "last month"
Something has changed, sure...but there are still videos published after Jul.27th which are 60p.

 
I checked some of mine and they dont show the FPS but they appear to be the same quality... are you seeing less?

Slightly less
I'll have to check the stats for nerds...and that is showing 1920X1080@30

Hmmmmm

Wolf,
I dent them a new thread in their support forum.
Took them 4 months but I finally got those two 4K videos to finish processing.

***UPDATE** it is earlier than July 24th
The cornfields of West, Texas I know was 60 and it is showing in 30

**UPDATE 2** Even a few of the videos titled test 1080p60 are displayed in 30fps with no option to change resolution to 60.
The test 4K60 display fine

this is displayed in 60fps.
But apparently, YouTube does not know how to search for 60 fps videos :(
