Yea this insight had massive problems. Mainly the primary o2 sensor giving the car false information, causing it to use way to much fuel. On top of that, the #2 Cat was clogged, and the exhaust leak wasn't allowing enough exhaust to escape, so there was way to much back pressure. I used to fight the car to keep the SoC from getting completely drained, and I thought the IMA battery was just going bad. Turns out the clogged cat was causing the car to work way, way to hard to move, therefore using more assist. Since I fixed the exhaust, I rarely ever drop below 18/20 SoC bars.
