AI casting moves for free

I know there was a thread about this somewhere but this has been happening fairly frequently recently. During Covesquirrel I was hit by GSBW's Pistol twice within a few turns which I thought was nearly impossible. I was also hit by Patch's The Best There Is twice in a single game too. I thought it was theoretically possible but highly unlikely both those events could've occurred so I held off on posting.

Tonight during PvE I was hit by Onslaught on back to back turns where only a single match 3 (I believe it was blue or yellow) had taken place between abilities. It was Onslaught, single match 3, my turn, Onslaught. Even if that match 3 had been green the AI should have been at least 2 AP short to cast it again. There were no cascades and no moves that could have generated AP. It was on the essential node where there were no goons to generate AP. Some of the previous times where the computer was casting very expensive moves very quickly it felt as if the AI had a free Hood blue going off somewhere but even that couldn't explain how they got off 2 Onslaught's back to back (during the second Onslaught's animation I saw the AI apparently had 6 green AP).
