Time/% before forced landing ?

Let's see, where's that video where someone wanted to see what happens when you get to 0% battery (and you're still up). Here it is . . .

very informative, now I know how the drone still force lands beyond 0% ?

Thanks but I still get this error:​

But it isn't so important. I'm trying to understand the correlation between the (H)ome marker on the flight progress bar and the 2 dots within the red left section.
I fly with a CRO licence and inspect avalanche fences in the Alps, so I'm rarely very high Above Ground, but potentially 2.5-3km above takeoff point (depending on the highest spot I can park my 4WD) and rarely more than 800m distance from the Home point (depends on the mountainside gradient, of course)
My M2P descends at 8m/s (adjusted parameters) but that doesn't affect the RTH point on the flight progress calculation for some reason, thus the drone will begin to complain and initiate a forced RTH with (potentially) 50% battery remaining because of the altitude calculation.
How can I change that (or rather, is it even possible to adjust a parameter that factors in the increased descent speed).
If I RTH when It complains, I land with 12-14minutes of potential flight time still possible, according to the progress bar.
If I ignore the RTH until it gets low enough to force RTH or landing, the descent speed is capped at 6m/s which still takes 3.5-4m to descend and land from the avalanche fence areas. But, when the drone reaches the Home point, it shows 25-30% remaining battery even though it was forcing a landing.

Are there some parameters that I can adjust to maximize the high-altitude inspection time without fighting a drone that won't stay in place without stick input?
