It can happen at 100 km if you ride your brakes too long which is probably the case here. It has overheated. One of the downsides with rim brakes and carbon wheels.

I have other Bora Ultra wheelset so I can survive that.. but Idk if I can recommend these wheels to someone for future rides without worry?
The epoxy layer is gone and the outer exposed carbon layer is little bit flexy.. I can feel 0.5mm of flexibility guess.. but the rim is still rigid no doubt about that

Rim brakes + carbon rims are not a good idea. Switch to disc brakes or ditch the carbon.

There is special brake pads for carbon rims, are you sure you’re using it ?

Same happened to my cosmic front. Found a carbon guy who easily repaired it

My Bora Ones are 10 years old and probably have more mileage on them and still look like new. Still using the original campy carbon pads they came with.

Wear & tear is a thing, ya know. 12k miles on any wheelset will show damage. Brake pads are great, but every rotor will also wear.

Most rims, regardless of material, need to be replaced after 20000 km.
