Angry V90 2017 Automatic transmission jerky performance

Hi there!
I have bought my first Volvo V90 2017 2.0 TDI recently (115000km).
I began to pay attention to some of the transmission nuances:
With an average braking till zero, braking occurs with slight jerks in the region of 30 km/h and below. Odometer shows gear change during such jerks. During smooth braking, such transitions are weak, or absent at all.
When braking till 10-20 km/h with following speed pick up, the braking/acceleration transition occurs with some jerks again.
This transmission behavior is annoying especially in traffic jams and slow traffic.
I had a similar experience on my previous Audi 2009, but I expected a very smooth operation of the gearbox in 6-year old Volvo.

Can you please tell me this if the usual gearbox performance, or is it worth checking the car in the service?

Suggest you take it to the dealer to check for codes and/or a software update for the trans. My 2020 V90 Inscription T6's transmission is buttery smooth.
