The refund that Turbotax 2022 calculates when I open the program in August is different than when I filed in April, why? Should I amend my return to claime the extra $$?

I opened Turbotax in August for the first time since filing in April, it installed some updates, and now my refund amount is much higher. Why did this happen and should/could I file an amended return to claim that money?

Always print a copy of your completed tax return for your records, and review it carefully before e-Filing.
You will need it if you are audited by the IRS, or to amend if a TurboTax update changes your return or for any other reason,

AND, to find your AGI next year.

I do have copies of the return that I originally filed, I was more curious if this is a common thing to have the refund/payment amount change in Turbotax months after I have filed due to an update. I wonder if I missed out on refund money in the past because of this situation. Is filing an amended return the correct thing to do in this situation?
