Just had to bin 2 full sheets of SVIG micro that has gone rock hard due to lockdown :( It literally broke into pieces when I tried to bend it.

I've never encountered this in 34 years - the micro was stored correctly so I've no idea why it started to solidify.

Anyone else had this issue?

This does happen from time to time, it is probably a production issue when they have used too much crumb and not enough pure rubber. it is not unusual for rubber to go hard so you may have just got some that had been sat around for a long time.
