The other possibility being the feature as it was applied to the Biden tweet did not exist during the Trump administration, which I posted in the original comment.
More likely it's not a lie because the POTUS actually believes it's true. It's not a lie if you sincerely believe it right?
Like how he keeps saying that gas was $5/gallon when he took office [1] (it was $2.39/gallon).
Or how he claims that his own son died in Iraq [2] (he died in the USA).
Though the best example would be the tale of Cornpop [3], in which a young Biden, working as a life guard at a city pool, tangles with a razor armed thug, himself with just his wits and a steel chain. It's entirely possible he thinks this actually happened.

It was the solid truth.
That's why the fact-check was to "provide context".

… the tweet is factual only to the extent required to deceive the reader. As the increase is a CPI adjustment, by definition real benefits aren't moving. Then there's the entirety of the problems that are being caused by the worst inflation of my life … that's to be chalked up to the Biden admin's "leadership"?
The context changes the entire tone of the tweet, because it was a lie. The White House deleted it because they got caught in a lie.
The Biden administration should be holding itself to higher standards than this.
Worse, they got caught in a truth
