Also, you would be given an option to schedule a practice mock test for the final interview.

Also keep in mind that hiring tends to be seasonal. Companies are generally very aggressive at the top of the year, and by Oct-Dec things do slow down a bit (but this is not always the case, for example if a company raised some $$$ in that period). In the past I've avoided applying to postings which are more than 3 weeks old.
You could also try services like TripleByte, which flip the funnel, and help you go directly go to onsites (there are some caveats though).
For the tech rounds, it's just more practice. Unfortunately the interview process is heavily biased towards people who practice, and has little to do with your actual abilities - and you are competing against such folks. For that I've found Pramp, interviewing.io, leetcode, educative (the grokking algorithms and system design courses), GH system design primer, (our even services like Outco.io) etc. to be very useful. The good thing is that atleast in SV these bits have become fairly standardized now, and if you spend time preparing, it significantly increases your hit-rate with everyone.

Apart the main use-case, I'm also trying to figure out how to fit it for this use-case – For a specific URL I would like to capture all requests made from the frontend app (JS) in production to the backend, and then replay it for a local version of the frontend.

The max. duration of an auction is 3 weeks.

Here is what I think happened:
There was an auto bid of a higher amount placed earlier by 'K'. You placed a bid successfully. Then 'K''s autobid kicked in and beat you.
* The widget does not update immediately. Your bid gets queued, and then executed. If another bid in the queue beats you then you get an email appropriately. Once your bid has been executed (in the background), the widget will update.

All I need is one paying customer asking for it, and it would happen.
