100% Meal Deduction for 2022 Raises Audit Risk

We were filling out the Expense category under self employment for our 2022 return and there is a category Meals 50% limit and Meals 100% limit. When we enter Business Meals under Meals 50% the audit risk comes back as low. When we remove that and enter same amount under Meals 100% limit it becomes a medium risk for audit. I thought maybe it was the amount but even $500 under Meals 100% gives a medium risk for audit.

 

Is this a software glitch or is the IRS looking closer at Meals 100%?
