The missing link that came with my new chain broke after riding for a couple of meters.
Have you guys seen a missing link fail like this before?

Never, but with how loose tolerances are in the bike industry not surprised.
No never, ask retailer or manufacturer for replacement
Or spit the chain and use full link like I was taught years ago by sram dealer
Warranty replacement. Just to prove a point say that you need at least an x01 or xx1 level chain to guarantee your safety.
This is one of the very few instances that calls for a chain warranty, or in this case just a new powerlock. Appears that you installed it correctly so your shop will hopefully just give you a new link.

Yes, but only when one side was not latched (the pin was wedged against the plate, but not in it. It’s impossible to say if that’s what happened now, but this is what that failure looks like. Or could be a defective part.
