Omnipod keeps sending child into hypo at night

Hi team. Wondering if anyone has run into this issue before, as it is becoming incredibly frustrating!

My 5 year old has been using omnipod 5 for 9 months now and we consistently get hypos when she goes to bed and overnight in auto mode.

I have changed her target bgl from 6.1mmol/L to 7.2 from 8pm until 7am which helped for a while but now the pump is doing the same thing again where it is giving her insulin when she is well below target and again when trending down! She doesn't run high overnight so I don't buy that it is "predicting an increase" as per the manual.

Any ideas or shared experience before I contact Insulet?

Have attached picture from last night as an example - it sent her into another hypo (not pictured).
