The higher the brake steer gain, the faster the fade/decrease on one side. Changing the brake steer gain from positive to negative changes the side it occurs. Set brake steer gain to zero and reboot will eliminate the issue and the brakes hold as commanded. Any ideas?

As an install note, I had to remove the permanent magnets in the wheel hubs to get consistent proportional braking and widen the servo channel band where it is proportional.
Check to see if you have any trim in steering or rudder.
