Point72 SDE rejection, still not sure what happened

Just wrapped up my Point72 loop for the general SDE role and got rejected today, wanted to vent a bit and see if anyone else has run into something similar with them.

Did the OA a few weeks back, C++ only, an array manipulation problem plus a couple MCQs on testing practices. Passed that fine. Then two tech screens back to back, about a week apart. First one was with a US based manager, an algo problem that felt like an LC medium, plus a bunch of C# trivia since they specifically asked upfront if I was ok interviewing in C# even though the OA was C++. Second screen was with a remote contractor and honestly felt like almost the same content as the first one, another hashmap style problem and more C# questions.

Got the reject email two days later, no feedback given, recruiter never responded when I followed up asking why. Not devastated since I've got other stuff in the pipeline but it stings a bit when you can't tell what actually went wrong. Anyone else get two nearly identical screens before getting cut?
