There are an infinitude of possible answers to these questions which
have nothing to do with BGP, per se; those answers are very
subjective in nature. Can you provide some specific examples

Perhaps your path flapped numerous times and you were "dampened" by your upstream provider?

As Roland mentions, specific examples (for example, "show" commands from the router) would help.
