I wonder if you have a steam leak? See if your steam pressure starts to drop quickly after you switch off the steam switch. In the video I noticed the steam heater light was on while you were pulling the shot. The PID can't send power to both heating elements at the same time on 110 volts. But yea, something is wrong. Mine never drops that fast. Not even close. But I noticed as soon as the steam light went out the temp started to recover.
