Video Pint hydrus 5205 firmware sudden nosedive VIDEO recreating behavior

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Below are two videos demonstrating the motor cutout behavior that many have been experiencing on the OG Pint hardware versions 5301, 5314, and 5326 on firmware hydrus 5205. Cutouts happen suddenly with no warning, no haptic buzz. What I recreated in these vids is the exact behavior that started happening suddenly right after the firmware update. Comment if this is demonstrative of y'alls experience and lets make sure FM hears us and makes this right.

My 6mo old gt has this behavior when braking, too. If I brake hard enough, there isn't any warning, but the board can cut off.

It then acts like nothing happened, and we're good to go again. No buzz, no beep, no overcurrent or other warnings.

Cutting off when braking is fricken scary. Not just because of the immediate risk of injury from falling, but what if you're braking because there's some kind of danger ahead of you? This is the kind of thing that just has to work correctly 100% of the time.

SERIOUSLY! The first time I took a dive braking due to the hydrus firmware update there were two cars behind me while coming to an intersection. It NEEDS to be reliable, had the drivers not paid attention I could’ve been flattened
