I have noticed this happening a lot recently - and it really has become annoying beyond the point of usability. I have Channels DVR set up recently because I could not trust Plex. An example - CBS Reality is showing Bondi Rescue at around 5am every day. I record it on ChannelsDVR - all is good. Plex claims that Judge Judy is on. There are other examples I have come accross. Oh and detect commerical - just does not work. It does on ChannelsDVR  
I live in Wales UK, ond the Wales Freeview EPG, every server and player is up to the latest version. I use HDHomerun  
Come on Plex - don’t make me give up my Plex Pass

However, this announcement might make you feel a little better.

(Deep breath) At the risk of understating it, we want to acknowledge that the Plex experience as it relates to Live TV metadata, schedules, and lineups over the past 12 months has been a painful one. There, we said it. You know it, we know it, our provider knows it, my wife knows it, my mailman knows something’s been bothering me but honestly we’ve drifted apart over the last few months…thanks COVID. While our …
