If I claimed a dependent (adult) last year and they still meet ALL the requirements again this year, why am I unable to claim them again stating they do NOT qualify?

When filing my 2021 taxes, I claimed my boyfriend as a dependent because he had no income, lived with me the entire year and I supported him (covered ? 50% living expenses). There were no changes to the situation, other than I got a new job, but when I got to the dependent section for my 2022 return, using the same program to file, it said he did NOT qualify?! I've spent over 5 hours now reading article after article looking for an answer or a potential reason, and have had no luck...
