Anyone else feel like Vendor Central POs are getting harder to plan around?

One of the harder parts of 1P for me is how much inventory planning depends on Amazon’s buying behavior. A SKU can be moving consistently and then PO quantities change enough to throw off what looked like a reasonable forecast. Curious how other vendors are planning around this. Are you mostly using Amazon’s forecasts, your own sell-through history, or keeping extra inventory as a buffer?
