The buy box is often shared if there are competitors on the same listing. More rotation of sellers having the buy box = less overall percentage of you holding it.
Check to see if anyone has joined you on it, Amazon for example…

Thank you all for your suggestions.
I do agree that Buy Box is shared by all competitors. However if you can see attached picture of my But Box Win % graph, it has a sudden drop on 31st of October.
Surely there must be a different reason for that. According to my experiences (before 31st Oct), I have noticed on some listings I was able to win the Buy Box even my prize expensive than lowest prize of the Buy Box. Kindly post your suggestions to resolve this matter.
Thank you in advance

All the buybox encourages is a race to the bottom in the pricing war, yes its exposure for your product, but staying within that 5% margin means constant price fluctuations so the buyer has no idea what would be a genuine price for that item.
Also the widgets and statistics take nearly a day to update so being out of sync might just be a system hiccup.

mine did that for a couple of days then increased higher than it was before, I don’t understand it to be honest

We keep getting warnings that we are not winning the buy box. I take these warnings with a grain of salt.
We have brand registry and are the only sellers. I check regularly and we are still the only sellers.We are losing the buybox to ourselves. Amazon should see this but they don’t.

I really shouldn’t worry about it, as after all a savvy shopper look for the cheapest option, and we all know this isn’t always the Buy Box!
