Mavic 4 Pro - Obstacle Avoidance Issues

An update to my case, in case it might be helpful to anyone.
After contacting dji support, they suggested to send the unit back to them for inspection.
Before doing so, I thought to try one more time to self-calibrate the sensors.
DJI support suggested that I should perform a low-flight altitude on an area with obstacles and particular something above the aircraft, flying the aircraft on four directions for 2-3 minutes. This did not help at all as it kept detecting false obstacles.

What DID help and fixed the issue was this:
I went to an open area without obstacles (an empty football field) and performed a low altitude flight (2-3m over the ground), flying the Mavic 4 Pro in a cross-like pattern front/back/left/right with obstacle avoidance set to off (not bypass nor brake). The flight was less than 5 minutes (3-4 minutes) and after performing the cross-like flight pattern, I've landed and powered off the aircraft.

This was done 3 times in sequence.

After that, the sensors no longer detect false obstacles, the drone flights fine with either bypass or brake obstacle avoidance action and I can perform automated flights (Mastershots, Waypoints, etc) without issues on the same areas that previously was not possible (in these same areas, the Mavic 3 can do them without issues).

In any case, that's what I did and now the aircraft is working perfectly.
Hope this helps someone.

Thank you for posting!! I was having lots of issues with my Mavic 4 Pro gaining altitude on its own when pitching forward with obstacle sensors firing away like crazy. This fixed it for me. I feel like I have a brand new drone. Flies different now...in a good way. Thanks again!!
