Now my landscape lighting is on an outdoor plug with bridge connection using timer, not a routine, and that has been completely glitch-free.

It definitely gets a bit confusing when some of my devices are Amazon, some Kasa, and some Govee. Some use only their own proprietary system, some use Alexa, some can use both (either one). Some of the routines I created were done in Kasa, some in Govee, some in Alexa. Some require Alexa to pass a command to the device to use a proprietary routine, others work solely off of routines created directly in Alexa. Some routines have multiple parts, and occasionally Alexa will get 3 parts working and 1 that doesn't. It is enough to make your head explode. But at least the challenge of setting this stuff up probably keeps dementia a bit farther away!
We probably should be nice to these devices because they may one day be our masters and start programming us!
