Could be your vegetable stock cube isn’t very high quality. Or did you add the lime already? You’ll have the best outcome if you wait to add lime until you’re just about to eat it. I wouldn’t add lime to the whole thing, just one bowl at a time as it’s eaten.

Could your oil have gone rancid?

Too much cumin ruins dishes for me, i usually just put in a few tiny shakes instead of a tbsp or so recipes call for. Maybe i just have crappy cumin tho

Is your cube in a good date? I have had them go bad.

How long did you soak them for?

i personally find that garlic can sometimes go bitter in the slowcooker when cooked for a long time
but if you didnt put the lime juice in then your palate may just be missing acid which is making the other flavours seem unbalanced and overpowering.
if you dont have any lime you can substitute with lemon juice or a smaller amount of vinegar and see if that improves the flavour
