I have never seen an AI team sway from the settings. If I make my settings as 5 man rotation, 7 relievers and 13 position players, the AI has always stuck to that. I check teams randomly to see and have not seen it do any different.
I have on occasion left the setting to 5, 7, and 12; thus leaving the AI a free choice to fill the final spot. Some will carry an extra pitcher, some a hitter. I've even gone so far as to check manager strategies to see if the choice makes sense. Mostly it does, I notice teams that have a manager with a quick hook tend to carry an extra pitcher, while those who are lenient tend to carry an extra bat.
However, as I stated, when I don't give the AI a free choice, it sticks to the settings I have applied. If I set the 3 spots to total 25, the AI follows my setting.
I'm not disputing what you said, just going by my experiences with this. It's something I tend to keep an eye on fairly regularly in my leagues.

Yeah, when I tested it I honestly thought I wouldn't be able to find any instances of pitchers past the limit, but I figured I should check just to be sure as I didn't recall any talk here about it. And to my surprise I found one right off the bat on opening day, then another 2 months later, and more 2 months after that. I didn't do anything special to the league, I started a completely fresh 2023 league with the latest at the time build. I'd PM you the link to my report with the attachments, but IIRC you dropped out of beta awhile back. If you have more time now, you should ask back.
