All-Clad D3 scratches — is this normal?

I’ve had my All-Clad D3 polished stainless steel pan for just over a month and use it once or twice a day. I’ve noticed quite a few scratches developing, including some darker scratches that are slightly deeper and can be felt with my fingernail (see photo). I understand that stainless steel will naturally scratch over time, but I’m wondering if these deeper/darker scratches are considered normal for a D3 after only a month of regular use, or if I’m being too rough with it. I’m not using anything to cut on the pan, but I do use metal tweezer tongs when cooking.
