I did one a few years ago. I went to scrape the high spots and the lot fell off the ceiling..
It transpired that the ceiling had been plastered over the original artex then textured to look like artex again. It clearly hadn't bonded well.. Very strange.

Customer: Can you make this artex flat?

Me: Yes

Customer: How much will that cost?

Me: Yes
