I know that analysis of your games afterwards is invaluable as a learning tool. But I am often discouraged by the computer comparison percentage. I will play a game (usually against bots) and feel like I smashed them, kept good pawn structure, maintained the advantage, lost minimal material and checkmated in a planned manner.
But according the computer I got a 23% or something around that (I have played some games where I got a 90%+ but felt like it was much worse.)

I guess in short, I feel really confused and hung up on comparing my games/moves with the computer percentage. Is this normal?

It's true that you can sometimes win games on time.

The computer is only looking at the moves, not the time usage.

For example, in the above position, you were already down by 9 points and your queen was hanging.

But you won on time.

I am not really talking about those games. The games I have had more issues with is the games VS bots.

We can't see those. You could copy the pgn and analysis and post it here.
