I wondered what the hold time was.
The fault is occuring well before 2 seconds elapses.
eg: I'll be driving along at 50% power (very low load) and then do a snap reversal. The left motor cuts out immediately, causing the robot to spin, rather than reversing.
Hmmm.
The LED does stop blinking after about 3 seconds, but that doesn't indicate the specific cause as a current limit.
