I don't understand how Thieves' Tools work in this game
(pawb.social)
Baldur’s Gate 3 is a story-rich, party-based RPG set in the universe of Dungeons & Dragons, where your choices shape a tale of fellowship and betrayal, survival and sacrifice, and the lure of absolute power. (Website)

No but like, sometimes you'll succeed a roll and a message will pop up going "THIEVES' TOOLS USED"
It seems to happen when I roll something that's just a bit more than the DC, so like, a lock that needs 20 and I'll roll 21, it gets consumed. Whereas it seems to happen less when rolling like 10 more than I need.
But then sometimes even this observation doesn't seem to apply.
You use thieves tools every time, but they break if you fail. That's the easiest way to think about it. That message popping up doesn't correspond with breaking a thieves tools in my experience. So you get the message, but the total available remains the same.
