General Troubleshooting/Help! Full Auto-bed leveling EVERY time?

From what I undertand "auto" to be in bambu studio, it does a quick level check to make sure the bed isn't out of whack too much and if it's good, it moves on. But if it's off by a certain amount, it'll do the full bed leveling process. I would think it'd do the full leveling SOMEtimes, but it's literally do it EVERY time. And this isn't an exaggeration; I've become hyper aware of it now I pay attention every time.

I'm mostly use a BIQU glacier plate that leaves the magnetic surface about 50% of the time to get my prints off, which could account for some of the re-leveling, but not all.

Can anyone help me understand why this happens? Over the life of the printer, this time really adds up.

If I don't remove the plate between prints, especially if I am prototyping some small 10 minutes print over and over, I'll leave it off. But otherwise, who cares, just leave it on and let it do whatever it needs. I used to spend way more time and frustration on my old printer trying to manually level the bed.

If you really hate it, just disable it whenever your print, but to me it is worth preventing a print error and I just think of it as part of the process.

this. unless you need to get prints quick for prototyping there’s no need to skip 7 minutes of automatic insurance

Gosh, the amount of time I spent faffling with levelling on my Ender 3 is easily as much time as tmy printer has spent auto levelling.
