I used to place Limit Buy orders above price so that they got executed once price touched them. Suddenly, I can't use this anymore and my Limit Buy Orders above Price get executed as a Buy Market order. How can I keep placing Limit Buy orders above Price?
Thank you

You need to use a Buy Stop order instead:
Order Types: Stop

It has never been possible to place a buy limit order above the current price and have it not fill immediately.

Or a Buy Stop-Limit order.
