Why no attacks despite having action points?

I really don't get it, look at this: https://i.imgur.com/g1o6IR9.png

I had a weird feeling for a long time but in this fight it finally dawned on me that this makes no sense. I can do all my buffs with these action points but why no further attacks?
Then my technomancer guy barely got a single turn or attack throughout most of the fights and now suddenly he got 4 attacks in a row for two turns. I dont understand the logic

Sounds like you don't understand the mechanics

ok I think I was extra confused because I gave my technomancer the "finest hour" from the navigator but it does say that there is no attack limit. It's just weird that I think on the technomancer's regular turn he still had no attack limit it seems. Maybe that was a bug

oh yeah. finest hour lasts until the end of combat. its definitely a bug. This game is full of bugs and broken quests.

it should be illegal to sell a product in such a broken state.

The game has a lot of issues where if characters are effected by things that remove their attack limit it can randomly disable the attack limit on future turns. And a lot of general problems with abilities and conditions not toggling off when they should in general.

I wish there was a clear indicator when you're getting extra attacks and from where. Like I know when I'm getting them from heroic actions but then I'm getting them randomly from somewhere else and I can't be sure if it's a bug or some random class feature I skimmed over because the ability descriptions are so verbose.

yes its up to the point of frustration. i have no idea why owlcat higher management doesn't take any action against their QA and the devs.

Most attack actions will cancel the ability to use another attack action or movement points. Most non-attack actions can be used 1/turn without such limits. Hover over the respective action if you are in doubt & look for the red icons with the crossed out words next to them:

That's the default, but there are abilities that allow you to break such limitations. Examples are heroic actions for officer, warrior and to some degree soldier, and abilities like run&gun.

I think sometimes it also just last till the end of the round, so if you use officer powers you get to 'double dip' a few times before it wears off?
