it’s temporary query-level reprocessing; it sounds like Google reshuffled that specific keyword cluster.

Sometimes when Google crawls a page right before a drop, it’s re-evaluating intent alignment. For competitive utility terms, especially on a 10-month-old site, Google may test different results for a few days.

check these points
– keyword cannibalization test (if other pages for those keywords are ranking)

– if SERP intent shifted or not

things generally resolve in 3–14 days once Google finishes recalibrating

also, do a quick AI-based content + keyword gap analysis to see if Google may have reassigned intent
