I’m no EE but my hunch is that trade offs made to keep discharge capacity to a maximum given weight/size while also recycle times to a minimum means a different chemistry approach to the batteries, and what follows is different optimal lifespan procedures. The things I noted are also the same for e.g. iPhone and Mac laptop workflow (look up “parasitic load” re: sleeping a laptop and charging simultaneously). I’m not qualified to speak on the differences between li-ion and what’s in e.g. the Vagabond (LiNiMnCoO2), but obviously there’s best practices and they’re different for each battery type.

Yeah I couldn't agree more with that sentiment, it's useful to understand how to properly maintain the equipment you use (especially with the widespread use of large and expensive batteries) but why do the Godox batteries seem so prone to this issue?
My assumption is like with many of their speedlights to avoid issues around overheating they made the throttling a little too aggressive and as they designed it that way with the AD600 pro the AD400 gets to inherit this feature (never seems to be an issue with AD200's for example).
