XW inverters in closed loop charge control issues

I recently updated my XW system. Went from two
XW+ with two MPPT 80-600 CC to two XW Pro and an Insight Home. I have a
closed loop configuration with 4 Discover Battery AES modules. They
have a chip in the BMS to control the entire Xanbus network. I was off
grid until two years ago. I've struggled with an issue all along of the
system constantly charging and discharging the battery at the top of
it's range. If I don't set a sell block schedule it will charge and sell
from the grid at night. I was hoping that the Pros and Insight feature
of SOC rather than voltage control would fix this but I'm still
tinkering with settings to try to rein it in. Of course the partnership
between Schneider and Discover created the perfect situation for
crossfire finger pointing. Now, calling Schneider for help creates a
language barrier that makes me miss the old days. I have a past client
recently grid tied too, with different batteries, who is reporting
similar observations so I'm not sure it is just the closed loop
situation. Has anyone else run into this and found the sweet spot in the
configuration?
Thanks.
