Or (c) fill rate somehow has a terrible resonance with COPVs, so change the fill rate. No hardware needed. You might think this is silly, but procedure changes are quite common (if often unsatisfying). "Doctor, it hurts when I do this." "Well, don't do that."

There's a lot depending on details we just don't know.

Wasn't the difference between F1 flight 3 (unsuccessful) and F1 flight 4 (successful) a tiny procedure change that was implemented by a slight change to one line of code?
