I misjudged how deep the rut was and ended up stuck between the banks. It drove out okay but I totally thought it was going over while I was doing it. The rear right tire dropped down like 6 more inches and the front left lifted off the ground about a foot to foot and a half from this point. Also found out the seat belts lock when you're tilted this much so I couldn't put it back on when I got back in.
Ya, it's just based on time. If the battery is low enough it will throttle from that sooner. I'm pretty sure switching back to high mode resets the timer until temperature or battery voltage starts contributing to throttling. I could be wrong on that, I don't use my olights super often.
