The rules use Sun >= 2 becuse the time specified with "u" is UTC not local, it
is the same as Sun >= 1 (1st Sunday) in local time; and Sun >= 9 Z => Sun >= 8
local (2nd Sunday) in 2022 only.

So Sun 3 & 10 would be "4" & "11" for these rules.

I think the OP has generalized from a single data point, and may think the 2022
change on 2nd Sunday was meant to continue, but that was reverted for 2023 on:

Rule    Chile   2019    max     -       Apr     Sun>=2  3:00u   0       -
Rule    Chile   2019    2021    -       Sep     Sun>=2  4:00u   1:00    -
Rule    Chile   2022    only    -       Sep     Sun>=9  4:00u   1:00    -
Rule    Chile   2023    max     -       Sep     Sun>=2  4:00u   1:00    -
