Research direction

Start with the getConflictingBundle endpoint and reproduce the reported error using a bundle that succeeds in mainnet, Tenderly, and Flashbots simulation. Compare the endpoint's reported failure with the other results and inspect the existing documentation; done means the discrepancy is explained and the relevant behavior or guidance is corrected.

Description

I am trying to use getConflictingBundle endpoint and always get this error when my txs are 100% sure not reverting, doesn't make any sense .

when same tx sent to mainnet without any relevant state changes there are no reverts
when simed in tenderly no reverts
when siming with flashbots all good.
With getConflictingBundle however, this error happening almost everytime , even for bundles which were included!

What's this all about ? There is nothing in the documentation providing insights into this but seems like some issue with the way flashbots is simulating the transaction ?
