Eaton UPS is initiating a shutdown immediately upon loss of input power (alien.top)

When I unplug the input power to my Eaton UPS, I immediately get the notification emails for "Sequential shutdown scheduled" for Primary, Group 1, and Group 2. A few moments later everything shuts down. I can't figure out why it's shutting everything down immediately.

I'd like for Group 1 and Group 2 to be shutdown when the battery is under 80%, and primary shutdown when the battery is under 10%.

Here's the configuration I'm using: https://files.fletchowns.net/u/eaton_config.png

What am I missing here?

Had the same with my Eaton. Replaced the battery and all is working fine again. As others said, it’s likely your battery voltage dropping off sharply under load.
