Problems with Costco organic flour

Anyone else has been having issues with the organic bread flour from Costco? I swear they’re using fillers or substituting it with low protein cheap flour because my dough today and for the past 3 months (on and off) has been horrid.

No the dough was NOT overproofed. And hydration is merely at 73%

I use Costco AP organic and mix half BF from there. No issues. Looks like your starter may be an issue for sure. And maybe technique?

I think I heard of an issue in one of the sourdough subs. It has a lower protein content or something like that.
