Today I noticed the "TMDB-Synchrotron" bot has made a couple of strange updates:

We've spun up a separate bot account that runs at a much lower frequency for manually handling specific backfilling. I'll be keeping an eye on it here: https://www.themoviedb.org/u/TMDB-Betatron/activity

TMDB-Betatron is adding wrong Czech certifications, for example 15+ to Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban here.
As far as I can tell from what I've come across so far, all the changes made to the Czech content are incorrect. But it's most likely an unreliability of the source, not a bug in the bot. Unfortunately, we can't filter the edits made by the bot by the original language of the movie, so I'll fix the errors as I come across them. I just hope that the bot isn't changing locked fields...

Thanks for the report @talestalker, I'll dig into the source for Czech certifications and get that sorted.

FYI... I can see the bot TMDB-Betatron added a 15 certification for a theatrical release on this movie -> https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/810693-0/changes?filter_key=key&filter=release_dates
Ireland does not have a 15 certification for theatrical releases, its 15A as per the guidelines defined -> https://www.ifco.ie. A 15 certification would be fine for physical or digital releases but not theatrical. You may want to adjust the code in the bot to account for this.
