The last couple of days, when I press the flush button in the toilet, all the water swirls around the bowl, rises a little, and leaves. Of course, at first, I worked with a plunger, then I just took everything apart. There are no things inside the toilet that would interfere with the passage of water, the corrugation is all clean and goes to the riser pipe. That is, there is definitely no blockage in my apartment. I even bought a plumbing cable and checked it in case. Everything is clear.
I took a 6-liter bucket. I took some water into it and poured it into the toilet – the water leaves, it doesn’t even rise. That is, wash it off with a bucket – everything is fine.
What can be wrong? I still had the idea to replace the entire mechanism, which is carried out by flushing, but my friends are convincing that this is not the case. I even tried to fill the whole tank and not press the flush button, but pull out the whole mechanism abruptly in order to let the water flow, but there is no difference, it starts to spin.
Is it a reason to buy a new toilet? I have been already reading some reviews.

If it aint broke, don't fix it. (heard in the shop in my enlisted days...)
(and this sounds like it works just fine...)
The design of the toilet likely includes slants in the tank to bowl path that causes the swirl. this is on purpose to give everything a little motion to help keep things clean. (a feature, not a bug...)
once the water is in rotary motion, it is natural for the rotational inertia of the water to be translated into vertical motion.
(if you want to play, start with that bucket at a noted level of water, and get it moving round and round. observe and report back.)
