Rman incremental backup size increased. [message #458174]

In a two node RAC database, usually the RMAN incremental file size is around 400-500 MB and RMAN full file size is around 10GB.
Suddenly the RMAN incremental file size has increased to around 16-17 GB and there were no expansion on datafile size/data volume/DB block size etc.

it's an incremental backup,

Following command used for RMAN.

crosscheck archivelog all;
delete noprompt expired archivelog all;
backup format '/u04/rman/DB_INC_%T_%U' INCREMENTAL LEVEL 1 TAG = 'weekly_incremental' as compressed backupset database plus archivelog format '/u04/rman/DB_ARCH_%T_%U' delete input;
delete noprompt obsolete;

No changes are done in rman settings or rman command.

No significant changes observed in data size too. And it seems like, the rman has taken full backup considering the file size.

What could be reason for sudden increase of RMAN incremental file size?

Thanks

Increased transactions?
Check the number of archived logs generated for the specified period of time.

Archived log number, size and transaction count checked and found almost similiar to recent days.

Check if you don't have new materialized view on the DB.

This can increase redolog by the refresh frequency.
