If you're sensitive enough to your normal "fully charged" ... lean burn window, you'll notice it's harder to enter or hold...when background charging is happening...
Hmm, that thought crossed my mind as well. Now that I think about it, there was one instance when I saw some charging at non-normal regen times, sort of around this time when I was seeing the gauge dip to 16 or 17 and then pop back up...
