Bottom watering is great! but it is good to top water around once a month to flush out any salt/mineral buildup. The roots could be reacting to that.

Do you check your soil before watering? Sometimes I skip the app’s scheduled watering if the soil is still moist. I wait until the soil is completely dry throughout before watering.
