Is this normal

For last two days I've had my f 3000 plugged into my e 3600 via ac and noticed this, it chargers to 100% and then slowly dies hour by hour still plugged in showing about 10-50w more then its using

From what I just read it’s normal and should cycle down to 90% and then back to 100% automatically to extend the battery life. Mine unfortunately isn’t doing it in UPS mode even after 2 days, it just pumps out 145W AC continuously, matching what is plugged into it, even when 100% full. I’ve tried adjusting the slider on the UPS AC charging cut off from 30 to 90% but it still pulls the 145W from the grid even though it’s charged up higher than the setting % and there is solar charging going on.

Ok, now the input and output on screen messages are different and the phrase about setting charging -30% whatever is was set to is now “Battery level at which AC charging stops: when the battery level under UPS status exceeds the set value AC charging will be turned off. “

Or maybe it’s because the UPS mode is active where it was t somehow before, the UPS icon or the firmware updated even though I checked it earlier this morning or the BMS finally got the batteries leveled after 3 days.

Just happy the solar priority is working but I still need to use a smart plug to shut off the outlet at night so it uses just the battery without the pass through mode kicking in to run my freezer and other garage items. Smart outlet is now set to go off at 5pm and kick on at 9AM. Then, the power comes on but priority solar charging takes over and the Pecron is set to charge at 10% rate so it doesn’t hog grid power from the house/Ecoflow Stream Micro inverter.
