The oldest account hitting 3 years has caused a scorecard reassignment.
I posted an example thread but if you search for "AoOA 3 years" you will find many other reports of a 20something point drop.

Re: 28 point loss on EXP Fico
@dragontears Thank you so much! I'm reading through it. Can you explain a bit more what a scorecard reassignment mean? I could not find the meaning on the post you provided. 😊

An example would be having a single derog on your CR and that derog is removed, you would then be re-bucketed into a different scoring metric to those who have no derogs on their report. There are other known metrics as well that would move you into a different scorecard via being re-bucketed

What is the age of your oldest account?
What is your AAOA now?
There are "known" rebucketing thresholds (which causes score decrease most of the time) tied to aging metrics.

A 1% increase in aggregate utilization did not cause a 28 point loss in FICO points. So you should look elsewhere for the cause.

@alessandromI remember when I was forewarned of losing points when my AoOA hit "3 years" referenced in this post:
I guess you could call it Growing Pains. It is due to the Rebucketing of your credit scores.
For a better understanding Search Forum for *Scorecards* lots of great info to understand them more.
