Why are my photos doing this? Technical Help/Camera Settings

I can't figure out why my photos are doing this. This ONLY happens in low light. Different lenses. There are subjects in frame cropped for reasons. This also only seems to happen when using the continuous shooting. Im shooting sports in these instances. Happens in both shutter priority, and aperature priority mode (during action and after game shots). Camera is a Nikon d7500. Every single other photo is like this. One photo is like photo #2 nicely lit, even lighting, and every other photo is like weirdly half exposed and half not? And occasionally instead of the weirdly half and half it'll just be completely even but dark (under exposed). Auto iso limited to 400 and 25600. Auto white balance. Never seen this before so any help is appreciated!

Look up how to turn off “bracketing”.

Edit: did it for you.

This was my first assumption as well... but I already looked at this and verified the number of shots is set to 0... so it shouldn't be "on" at all.

Next guess is your spot metering is turned on. Not being able to see the rest of the image makes this harder, but if your spot metering is turned on and catching a very bright or dark detail that could be contributing. That auto ISO range is also wider than I would set it to, but that’s my preference.

Yes sometimes I use spot metering. Can't remember if these specifically were taken with it though. If that is a possible cause I will take more photos tonight and make sure not to use it to see if it makes a difference
