Did the pivot broke off?

No. Just broke off from the throw out bearing.

That can be caused by Improper disengagement geometry while using a stiff pressure plate (from experience) sometimes the pivot goes, sometimes the fork goes. In either case, those components are designed to withstand stress in very specific orientations. A slight mis-orientation will apply forces at angles that the parts are not designed to handle, and you get broken parts.
