Thanks for the tip! Didn't know I could actually change the name, that was just the default.

This should improve guiding. Then, lower aggressiveness until you get a flat-ish graph.

I don't recall ever touching that setting until last night; it was already on 0.1 and when I changed it to 0.5 it resulted in an immediate, significant worsening of the symptoms... chart went off the scale so I set it back to 0.1 very quickly.

Hope you get it sorted out!

Ok thanks, I'll make sure not to do that in future.
