Has there been a change in Slomato tie-breaks? it used to be that a player could look at the tiebreaks and see if they could afford a draw, because the advantage of the tiebreak was pre-determined. It used to be that a player could look at the tiebreaks between rounds and it would not change. Now it changes. What gives?

this plainly shows after round 3 mdbgaccp has the tie-break over ChessSensei1. Yet just before ChessSensei offered a draw to mdbgaccp, the tie break looked like this—
> tiebreak:
> ChessSensei1 2.0 5.5 1700 1937477084
> mdbgaccp 2.0 5.0 1699 1424268980
that’s the big reason ChessSensei offered the draw, he thought the tie-break would not come back to bite him. Sooooo….
Has tie-break been changed?
I tried looking in the help files.
