Yes, that was one of them. I looked up some notes on it:

---------------------------
...without RCAT, the FROM AUTOBACKUP clause is required
RMAN starts searching backup media for file of c-<DBID>-YYYYMMDD-FF.
then FE, FD, FC all the way to 00.

starts over at the previous day if not found

this can take a long time!

can be mitigated with MAXSEQ and MAXDAYS options

restore controlfile from autobackup maxdays 10 maxseq 20

can also just specify name – go for c-<DBID>-YYYYMMDD-00 if you are
desperate!
