I have a system exactly like this one and had similar AGS issues. Once we ruled out conflicts between the internal Aux commands and the AGS menu in the Mate,
we eventually figured out it was heat related. We were using the top inverter on one of the quad stacks for AGS and that inverter ran hotter than the others. The
genset would start as expected but the shutdown was extremely erratic, sometimes running for 10-15 hours if someone didn't catch it right away.
The problems stopped when we moved the AGS function to the bottom inverter. Such a simple solution that took far too long to figure out. I hope the solution
to your issue turns out to be as simple (and cheap!) as mine.

I have a client w/ 8 stack of older VFX3648s, Off Grid. Presently connected to a Mate 3 & older hub 10. The generator run time/shut down time is never the same, sometimes 10+ hours of running while the inverters in “silent” mode. Gen stays running despite full batteries, confirmed by battery voltage & using my refractometer.The only "gen trigger" is battery voltage. I have cleared the history repeatedly & updated the Mate3 FW.Is there any conflict replacing the Mate 3 with the Mate 3S in an older system?I will be also changing out the Hub as well.
