Won a rated game against Maia5 and got no rating points although my rating is lower

I was just curious about why it happened. I saw it only once. You can go to the games link by clicking on the three vertical dots between the navigation arrows '< 'and '>' and selecting "show in lichess". You will see that no rating was awarded although I was about 100 pts lower than maia5 in rating when I won the game.

I don't really mind that i didn't get the points for one game : rating is anyway statistical but i wondered whether it was intentional (i.e. some kind of policy) or an odd bug. So far noone else reported having similar experience and i got different opinions about why it happened, but nothing official from lichess.
