Hello @d26brait and welcome to the forum.
This thread is for compiling questions to “ASK SENSE” where they pick a few and then address them. So you won’t get an answer from support here but the manager @RyanAtSense will probably reply.
Understanding how “ALWAYS ON” is calculated would answer your question. There is one member in particular that has addressed always on numerous times and very knowledgeable about it. You can search his name and the subject to find answers but here is a thread that might be helpful.
