I have added what I think is the distance from the homepoint, purple plot, to the above chart.
One of the reasons I am pursuing this is, not so long ago I experienced an RTH height of 875ft and this one is 807ft.
I did not intentionally set the RTH height to that, an RTH height of 40m would be high for me, and I had put the 875ft down to me accidentallly touching and dragging the RTH height slider whilst intentionally moving/increasing the distance limit.
But I find it a bit odd that our two RTH heights are fairly similar and seem unintemtional. However I do suppose it is possible it is pure coincidence.
When I queried the events and how to stop the ridiculous climb, part of Meta4's response was
"Here's another useful pointer from p14 in the manual
In Smart RTH and Low Battery RTH, the aircraft automatically ascends to the RTH altitude. If the aircraft is at an altitude of 65 ft (20 m) or higher and has not yet reached the RTH altitude, the throttle stick can be moved to stop the aircraft from ascending. The aircraft will fly directly to the Home Point at its current altitude "
In my case I saw that the RTH height was 875ft and the max ceiling was well above that because earlier in the flight I had had the drone climb a 400ft cliff and fly over the top of it so I had given myself plenty of ground clearance. That said the RTH ceiling is capped by the max height ceiling so two things sort of had to be wrong to send my mini up there.
