Database owner feels randomly necessary with Python scripts?

We have several scripts to automate our workflows and all of them started failing because it couldn't find the feature class name listed. I dug into it and it looks like for our SDE connections it started using the feature class name with the database owner ("DBO.", in this case) when they had all been working fine without it. Our administrator was out so they couldn't have messed with anything.

In the morning the scripts worked, then I had a meeting and my machine had rebooted itself, then this happened. I haven't figured out if our IT did anything yet, but I was curious if this is something that happens often or if there is some knowledge that I'm missing?

I believe this has happened to me before, perhaps the opposite way where DBO was necessary and then it wasn't... I can't seem to find any notes about it but I think I ended up just updating the scripts like I did this time. I have learned enough now that I know I need more information to prevent it from happening again.

Sorry if my question isn't clear enough, I'm still learning how to maintain these scripts!
