What can be the plausible reason for increase in the area of a peak in HPLC spectrum, even when the reaction is to degrade the compound?

I'm withdrawing samples after a 15 minute interval for 90 minutes. Hence, the 90th minute sample is to show the highest amount of degradation or the least peak area, but it shows the highest, this...
