Which work mode to use?

Hello
I have a largeish battery which has been filling up pretty much every day this summer from solar generation alone. Between 16.00 and 19.00, I have set a forced discharge to the grid with a hard stop at 35%.
In the past few days, as the weather has been cloudier, the 35% level has been hit before 19.00 and the system, on self-use mode, stops exporting and starts using the grid for my home's power rather than the remaining 35% in the battery. As soon as we hit 19.00, it reverts to the battery but I'd like that to happen as soon as it can no longer discharge to the grid. I'm sure it used to do this but it seems to have changed over summer. Any advice?
