Need help finding out what’s wrong with my R Brooklyn

Hey everyone, I’m hoping someone here can help me troubleshoot an issue I’m having with a Super73-R Brooklyn I just bought used recently. The bike is completely unlocked and set to PAS 4, but lately, it’s acting pretty sluggish. The throttle completely caps out at 16 mph, but if I use pedal assist, I can get it up to 19 mph. The weirdest part is that about once a week, I’ll randomly turn it on, and it’ll hit 22 mph without a problem, but that "lucky" performance never lasts.
The bike came with about 3,000 miles on the original controller and battery, so they’ve definitely seen some love. Has anyone dealt with this kind of inconsistent speed capping on an R-Series before? I'm trying to figure out if this sounds like an app/controller firmware glitch, a loose throttle connection, or if the battery is just starting to show its age after those 3k miles. Any advice or troubleshooting steps would be awesome. Thanks!
