If that bit came from a bargain box/container of 10/25, the brand don't expect it to last long.
Depending upon what you're doing,
I find a combination of the Wera ring magnet, (Wera 887/4RR), bit holder
and the 'Gold' diamond Torx bits help a lot. -
Impact driver combined with wera socket set and 3/8"bit driver easily the most used tool in the shed!
These also handy to not carry the drill with you: https://www.screwfix.com/p/milwaukee-swave-hex-shank-metal-drill-bits-3mm-x-65mm-2-pack/416HH?tc=VT8&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwnK60BhA9EiwAmpHZw53SPmQwg6qsx46qNC96kd2S2645UsuCDeZ7iQsF3vd1FSVhwvqyKhoCjjAQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Cheap Philips bits are useless for impact. Good ones last a great deal longer, but still gradually wear - you can minimise this by paying attention to driver setting and the angle you hold it, to try and ensure the rattle you hear is the impact mechanism and not the bit turning in the screw.

Yup I love my Makita impact driver which I got as part of a combo set a few years ago. You can clearly see that the impact driver gets far more use than the drill.
Which reminds me, why does the bit keep rounding off. Poor technique or cheap bits or summat else?
