Rapidrating is wrong

lichess.org/@/MoiRon/search?perf=6 There's a problem with my ratings in Rapid. I noticed in my last Rapidgames I lost only 1 punt and gained also 1. The rapidrating I have now (1970) is not the same as the rating I ended with in my last game (1983).
Any idea?
I think the display is wrong in the last game

A loss against someone rated 240 points lower usually causes a loss of over 10 points (and not only -1)
Indeed, 5 games earlier I also lost only 1 point against someone with the same rating:

So, 2 games were the display is wrong but explains the rating of 1970 I have now.
good reason to never even think about playing a themed rapid arena ...
I found a game of someone else, also in a "from position" tournament were the rating isn't correct neither. The same as my own 2 examples: only the lost of 1 point were 10 loss would be normal:
As a result of this, the final rating in his last game (2013) isn't the same as his Rapidrating on the left (2017)

Can a Lichess mod/dev look at this, it seems to be a wide spread problem.
Even a discord post could not raise the attention ...
Haha, indeed. I'm fine with it, my only purpose is to help this wonderfull site. Back in the old days these kind of issues were taken seriously, said an old man.
This seems to be the case with tournaments (at least arena tournaments) with a set up starting position. The last couple of themed arenas that I played also lead to incorrectly shown rating gains/losses afterward.
Rating is not most important thing in chess in my opinion - but i am a bit surprised about that and maybe somebody can help me to prove that if its correct. Played a 4-game-Rapid-Match against Mils Bees yesterday. In the first game i had a rating of 2129, Mils Bees had 1918. Result of the match is 3:1 for me (with results: 1st game and 2nd game won, 3rd game lost, 4th game won) - after that my rating is 2128 (looses 1 point). That means when you win 75 percent of the games against a 200 points lower-rated player, its not enough for an equal or slightly better balance?.... - interesting.
