I can't speak for the current conflicts, but it's happened to me and about every other Infantry leader I know at one time or another, both in training and on operations. It's not incompetence, just operational friction.
When your supply base is at a distance, and aviation assets are scarce, or a higher priority somewhere else, you are just going to get mismatches sometimes. You try to project what your ammo burn is going to be but you can't really know that in advance.
