There have been other silent changes to portal over the last few days, most notably any server configured to start with 1 player is now meant to give no weapon mastery, bots or not.
BFPortalOfficials experiences are all configured for 1 player start, because when they initially disabled bot xp, no games were starting when they required 20 players to start a match.
EA's portal experienced maintainer(s) always lag, seems they are unaware of what the portal team is doing. Same sort of thing happened when they removed bot xp, BFPortalOfficials experiences were verified and had bots. Then all of their documentation became lies, that said verified experiences give full xp. Took them a few days to realise and update the experiences so their documentation became somewhat accurate again.
