Current guidelines are max 150 days via visa-exempt in any calendar year, so you should be fine

You need to lodge a formal complaint. At the time of checking in you should have spoken with a supervisor as an onward ticket is only a requirement for visa-exempt and visa on arrival entries.

Max days per year visa-exempt is now 157 days. It resets Jan 1st. You should get a visa
