I mean ai ottomans doesnt convert orthodox religion away from balkans. Even though get up to 3 missionaries 1 from Jerusalem 1 from mecca. Is this meant to be like that they doesnt convert land or what? or is this bug?

Ottoman Traditions give +3 tolerance of heathens (and +5% discipline). It means this land does not cost any additional unrest, can be given to special Dhimmi estate and does not contribute to lowering religious unity. Player would probably convert it for better unrest control (tolerance of true faith is probably on 3 or 4 while heathens or 0 or 1), but AI thinks it is not worth temporary unrest and money.
If you look to Mughals or Indian Sultanates they also end up with a lot of unconverted land for the same reason.

It's because they have positive Tolerance

AI doesn't convert religions that they have positive Tolerance towards, and as Ottomans have +3Tolerance to heatherns, they are very disinclined against converting hearthens

Yeah, as of 1.23 it's not only unnecessary, it's directly detrimental, as you can't use it for Janissaries. But even before that, Ottos were well positioned to just take humanism and have +3 heathen tolerance. With Sunni only having +4 TTF, the conversion effort is rather pointless.
