Strange Victron BMV behavior

I have always been extremely careful not to discharge my batteries down below 12.2V. A week ago we came home from a camping trip and I put our AS back in her bedroom and put her on shore power. Since then I've been in the trailer most every day cleaning, removing the linens, etc. getting ready for our next outing. Every time I go into the trailer I check the voltage and it has always looked good. Yesterday when I was in the AS it was sitting at 13.1 as expected.

I went to the trailer about an hour or so ago to do a finally wipe down of the interior, flipped the switch to USE, turned on some lights, and spent about 30-40 minutes dusting and polishing. Just as I was about to leave the Victron started beeping. Three beeps every minute. Voltage is still at 13.1

When I press the select button on the meter it says "A Deep Discharge -88ah". When I look on my phone app under history it also shows a 88 amp hour discharge.

I have never discharged my batteries that far down, never seen it discharged that far down, and can't for the life of me think of why the Victron has suddenly decided to start beeping and registering a discharge.

Any thoughts as to what may have caused this and how to stop the alarm?

Please disregard the above posting. My hearing isn't what it used to be. While I still don't understand the Deep Discharge message my wife pinpointed the beeping sound. It wasn't coming from the Victron meter but rather the digital readouts for the fridge and freezer. They had gone into alarm because the unit is turned off and the internal temperature went way over limit.

Sorry about the false alarm.

Dale, no worries! You're in good company with the hearing; I blame mine on listening to loud music in the '60's

Thankfully our DF's have better hearing than us!
