Dolphin E10 climbing the wall then just sitting there stuck

Older E10, not the robot I usually run but it's back in rotation while I mess with something else in the shallow end. Last two cleanings it climbs partway up the wall, stalls out, and just sits there buzzing until I go flip it over by hand. Tracks fine, impeller sounds normal, no visible debris jammed in the wheels that I can find. Filter bag isn't even that full so I don't think it's a weight thing. Wall angle maybe, it's fiberglass so pretty smooth but nothing weird about the slope compared to before. Anyone run into this on the E10 specifically, curious if it's a wheel gear issue that's known or if I should just stop sending it up walls and keep it on floor mode. FWIW the Scuba S1 never has this problem but different beast obviously.

I dont run the E10 so cant say if its a known gear thing, but when my Nautilus does something like that it almost always traces back to one tread losing grip before the other, so does it stall climbing on the same side every time or does it change spots on the wall? If its always the same side thats probably a wheel or gear wearing unevenly rather than a slope or weight issue.
