Are the bots malfunctioning or being changed at the moment ?

Put some hands up, maybe you bid contracts differently changing the lead.
Maybe the bots weren't overbidding, maybe the system was strange and your bids showed more than you thought.
Most likely the bots were just bad, there have been some strange things happening recently.

Even if there was a BBO programmer who would look at bugs, they would never have the time to search through all of your hands and try to figure out what hands you are talking about. Export the questionable hands and post a link to them (or display them directly in your post, you'll have to search to find out how). Even then, don't expect any resolution.

Challenges / daylongs, any other one-player tournament do not count towards your TCR. The only ones which do are those that negatively impact other human players; the only way to improve it is to not leave such tournaments before they are finished.

If you want to play with advanced robots join the prime area. You can bang out hands endlessly for $4.99/month (IMP's or MP's) and get a free masterpointed 12 board weekly tournament. BUT make sure you read the GIB system notes.
Or you'll definitely blow your dough.

Your hand looks like the robot was programmed to think "there's no game because my partner is a passed hand, so let's get out at a contract below 2NT", but was NOT programmed to think "I can pass this non-GF 2/1"

Some of the substitute human players don't know the system very well. That could be the cause of your problem.
To be fair the robots have been in service for many years. It's hardly surprising that they're getting a bit tired.

Very little robot development has been going on since the pandemic, we've been too busy increasing capacity and adding features for NBOs and clubs to move online.

Really? Even the West robot? Shame on you.
