When was awesome used to mean bad?

One of the OED meanings is still "appalling, dreadful, weird". I've seen usage meaning the same as "terrifying" in older texts but I can't find an example just now.

they mean that since _everything_ is awesome these days, awesome now means "ordinary"

I didn't meant that at all.

Do you mean “awful”?

No, I meant "awesome" but "awful" is an even better example.

"awful" in this context reminds me of this famous story about Charles II (https://quoteinvestigator.com/2012/10/31/st-pauls-cathedral/)

From the article:

"When the excursion was complete the monarch told Wren that the new building was amusing, awful, and artificial. Remarkably, Wren did not feel insulted; instead, he was greatly pleased."
