Generating free electricity? Or just reading the app wrong?

I think I must be misunderstanding what the app reports about charging and discharging. I have a KH10 inverter and EP12 battery that seems to be discharging more electricity than
I've only had the system for three weeks and in that time ESS cloud v2 says I've charged about 132kWh and discharged 199kWh. That's about 50% over unity.
Looking specifically at the 27th to midnight last night, 4 full days, SOC% Went from 53% down to 28% Then up to 100 and down to 38%. Up to 100 and down to 10% for 105 minutes. up to 100% and down to 36% Up to 100% and down to 53%. So a total charge/discharge of 288%. In that same time I've charged 29.4kWh and discharged 43.7kWh. Also 50% over unity, suggesting 100% charge = 10.2kWh & 100% discharge = 15.2kWh.
I'm not complaining about getting more than 1 free kWh/day but I just don't understand it.
