SECO tried to pre-cool before the 4PM peak demand throttling but it stayed at 79 and then rose to 83 during the off cycle. Ecobee data below.

Second chart is Sense over night power, the AC used roughly 2,200W for 10 min cycles about three times per hour @ ~80 degrees exterior avg overnight.
When it becomes uncomfortable in the afternoon we bail out of ecobee for the day
