If I'm interpreting this correctly the automation ran but the light failed to respond, the light state is reported as "off" but the light remains on. At first I had a condition to check if the light was on, but seeing this result earlier I thought I'd remove the condition to make sure the light off action was applied regardless, any clues as to why this is happening?

Bulb is TS0505B_1_1 Tuya, maybe just a dodgy bulb, this happens intermittently, just saw an error message relating to state, but it disappeared before I could view any more, went to the log and it shows nothing. Is there a way to check on the state after the sensor timeout to confirm if the bulb has responded?

check the log at the time the light reported as "off" but is still on. if nothing shows up, check z2m log if it has a seperate log. if still nothing shows up, it could be a bulb problem. i
