Can't blame the heat, it didn't even hit 90.

Sticking the anchor way up in the tree and running the climbing rope over edges is never a good idea.

Looks like these came from a sport climbing quickdraw. One is a bent gate made to open easier, not what you ant for a top rope anchor. Do I use non-locking carabiners? You bet, steel ovals that don't gunk up the rope and are least prone to side loading or turning over.

You can see by the slack that the two cams are holding nothing. The only active anchor is the tiny tree.
