Credit Karma score just dropped unexpectedly?

I'm currently tracking my credit ratings via a few trackers, including Credit Karma. My app is telling me my score just dropped 34 points, but I have no idea why. The report says I should up my credit limit, but my utilisation has been around 10% for the past 3 months.  I have switched current accounts in the last 3 months, but it has already recorded that, and didn't register that as an issue before.

I assumed my rating would be based on a % of my utilisation, not the actual limit.  Is that not the case?

Is this just a quirk of this particular credit agency?. It's annoying, as I'm following all the guidance, yet my score has now dipped lower than when I started this rebuilding farce.
