If the ram moves to the end, often time the mechanical part gets "stuck" and so the overcurrent will trigger again trying to move the other direction if the current limit isn't raised. Once it moves the other direction the over current limit is lowered.
It turns out there is a problem with the source code that it records this new current limit and it should not. It might happen if you turn off the autopilot while it's stuck at the end, so I can fix this.
It might be useful on drives which have a slip clutch or end of travel switches or rudder feedback to never double the current limit, but for most users with converted tillerpilots, it's probably needed. I will add this option.
