Reading back through this thread one confusion is the PWM will be changed by the controller if any limiting is in effect.
So the throttle position may call for 100% PWM (full throttle), but if the controller decides that battery or motor current would exceed the limiting values it will reduce the PWM to implement the limit. So the situations where the speed or load is changing and any limits are in effect the PWM will be changing as well. The actual PWM will always be less than or equal to the throttle's requested value, the controller only reduces it.
This makes analyses more difficult as we don't generally have a readout of PWM.
