This is not a bug, you are using an estimated lap value which is dependant on push level to determine how many litres of fuel to load at a pit stop. You set the fuel load on lap 5 stint 1 when you were running SS tyres (hence very low PL) so you shouldn't be surprised that the estimate was wrong for stint 2 when you were on Soft tyres and therefore running higher push level.
If you want to prevent this from happening, look at the fuel consumption value from the practice laps and use a calculator or spreadsheet to work out how many litres of fuel you will need for each stint. For a high PL circuit such a Monaco you might want to play safe and add a litre per stint because your consumption in the race will be higher than the practice lap which is carried out at PL3.
Example your practice consumption 2.63 litres/lap
You want a strategy of 10 - 9 - 9 laps
10 x 2.63 = 26.3 litres which rounds up to 27 Litres
9 x 2.63 = 23.7 litres. You can either choose risky and round up by only 0.3 litres to 24 litres or play safe and load 25 litres.
As this is not a bug I will set it to Solved and move this to the Help & Support section.
