It doesn't consume on reroll. It consumes on fail. So you fail, one is used, and it's showing you how many you have left to keep trying.
No but like, sometimes you'll succeed a roll and a message will pop up going "THIEVES' TOOLS USED"
It seems to happen when I roll something that's just a bit more than the DC, so like, a lock that needs 20 and I'll roll 21, it gets consumed. Whereas it seems to happen less when rolling like 10 more than I need.
But then sometimes even this observation doesn't seem to apply.
I know exactly what you mean and it happens to me. Pick a lock and succeed on the first try and get the message it consumed one. Happens randomly for me like you.
