Take note of how many T90s arent sent to the frontlines, the stockpile forms the basis for any military decision they make.

I guess they're nearly out of tanks and stockpiling the last for a spring assault, because right now the wet soil is shit for tanks. Or they really have changed tactics as the article suggests.

The condition of "not having tanks" pretty much automatically changes your tactic of "send lots of tanks".

I read it as "they are running low, might try to send a large battalion to get large gains rather than keep losing them for nothing"

No, their tactics suck, but this is stockpiling for an offensive, whenever that may be.

Ukraines is still reporting between 70-130 tanks killed every month for the past 8 months. That amount corresponds to the estimated numbers of ancient stock being revived, and limited new production. Russia is likely still throwing everything it has at Ukraine.

However the amount of photographed and shared destruction is less. Since most of the tanks destroyed today are miles behind the front lines due to drones. The photos mostly came from Russian sources.

What changed last month?
