Are lockpicks in ESO one-use only?
I just recently picked up ESO a few weeks ago during the free-to-play time. I'm enjoying it but I am/was having problems with picking locks.
So I started looking at the tutorials for advice, and they all suggest that you can use lockpicks over and over again until they break. But in practice, it seems that every time I try to open a chest I lose a lockpick. They are not breaking. They just aren't in my inventory anymore.
So was there a recent-ish change where whether you succeed or fail, each attempt to open a chest uses up a lockpick? Or is my character somehow bugged?
If it makes a difference, I'm playing on a PS4 with the Elsweyr collectors edition.

How do I get Lockpicks in eso?
Just pick a tumbler, press LMB until you see the tumbler wiggle a bit and stop and then it will be locked in place. The more difficult the lock, the less wiggle time you get before the pick breaks.How do you increase lockpicking in eso?
Using lockpicks that they can carry in their backpack, they need to force the tumblers down into the correct position in order to open the lock. Xbox players can navigate over a tumbler using [Left Stick] and hold [RT] to move it.The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) Lockpicking Guide- Step by Step
