This is the 2nd time this has happened within 2 weeks - the first was on an M210 and this latest one on an M2ED both with Crystal Sky.

Both flights were flown with DJI Pilot (latest version - 1.8.0 on the M2ED and 1.7.2 on the M210 v1). It didn't happen on the first flights of the mission.

Take-off and early flight were both normal. On the M2ED, the first sign of potential trouble was when the battery percentage froze at 81%. On the M210, the radar triangle moved erratically, as though it was updating every few seconds instead of close to real-time. Then the battery percentage froze at 73%. In both cases, the battery % remained frozen until after the aircraft landed and the props stopped. Then the "correct" % showed up (62% for the M2E and 29% for the M210).

Here's a battery voltage snapshot of the M2ED from Airdata:

At 4:25 into the flight, the battery reporting voltages froze as did the % (at 81) until the aircraft landed at 9:01 with 62%. The M210 profile looks similar.

So, two different aircraft - looked like a CPU or memory resource conflict but I was expecting the problem to be in CS. But the Airdata report suggests the problem may be in the aircraft resource that is capturing the data.

Any ideas?
