The chess.com bots are behaving weird, I can suddenly beat them easily, have they changed?

I was playing bots that i rarely beat, and they suddenly make stupid moves all the time. I sadly have not become any better at chess, the bots seem to just be playing at a low level suddenly. Has anyone seen this?

Here is a game against li bot (2000) https://www.chess.com/analysis/game/computer/60085839?tab=review - I have beaten this bot made once or twice in like 50 attempts, but suddenly i can easily beat it first time without even playing well. It hung a full rook in the game, and earlier the 1800 bot was doing the same, i've never seen that from either the 1800 or 2000 bots.

The really odd thing is a played the martin bot (250) and he played BETTER than normal,. so I am confused what is going on. To me the 2000 rated li bot played like the 1100-1200 bots used top pay, and the 250 martin bot played more like the 700 bots used play.

That is true. I have noticed that as well. Also playing in friendly mode, you have infinite takebacks and hints. It makes it a LOT easyer. I do not like the changes made by Chess.com
