Staffing - Questions and Concerns

For context, this is my promotion year so I have been really on top of my performance. Leading up to this last 6 months, I was always staffed really heavily where there would be months at a time my life was completely miserable. I have always gotten very good reviews and have great relationships with my seniors (top bucket). I've began to notice over the last half year my staffing feels very light and not as bad as my other analysts. Particularly, I really only get staffed with one of my MDs now on all their projects. Was used to being on 3-4 live deals and then pitches but now have really only been on 2 and no pitches. I have been taking a way larger role on the deals I am on but still feels very weird that I am not getting the same amount of new mandates as my other analysts. Some other context that may be helpful is I am only staffed right now with an associate who is also in their promotion year (No VPs on these deals). Should I be worried or am I overthinking this?
