Why did my outlier detector bands in CloudWatch change suddenly?

I created an outlier detection band on my Amazon CloudWatch metric, but the band changed significantly. I want to know why my outlier detection band changed.

When you turn on outlier detection for a metric, CloudWatch applies statistical and machine learning algorithms.

After you create a detection model, CloudWatch outlier detection continuously evaluates the model and makes adjustments for accuracy. When another detection model performs better than the current model, CloudWatch outlier detection switches to the new model and the outlier detection bands change.
