Notes
Related patterns
Similar
Same なる, different scope — になる flips a state (春になる), ようになる shifts what someone habitually does or can do, and only gradually; 話せるようになった marks an arrival after a stretch of change, not a switch.
Lookalikes
One verb apart with agency reversed — 早起きするようになった says the change arrived on its own, 早起きするようにしている says the subject keeps making it happen; swapping them accidentally claims or disclaims the effort.
