That's not my experience. But if it does happen, does it matter? All that happens is that less work goes into the next sprint, right?
(I'm suggesting that the problem in your process might lie elsewhere - with mapping points to time, maybe).

Totally agreed. But such understanding is not the approach of power-game players in the first place. For such people, agile is a tool of oppression.
I believe all these tools have their place. But they are more frequently used by management to exert power over engineers. “What a dumb take. That feature obviously will not take that long. You are over-cautious as always.” “We had decided that this feature was 2 story points. Why did it take that long?” No, dumb fuck. It was your decision, not mine. I had argued against it, but you didn't listen.
