I have been out flying DJI MIni 3 Pro in extreme wind conditions with wind speeds of 43kph up to 68kph gusts and it did AMAZING, but !!!!

Thanks for testing, but pushing it over it's limits / specs will always end up with a surprise.

If was truly 63kph would you have lost control...

Yes, that was to be expected  - but kinda surprised about the altitude limitation - I have done this with the mini 2 a few times over specs and it just stays there

yes, that is no brainer as the max speed is 56 kph, but then lowering the altitude would allow me to regain control - I have tried it many times. Especially the nano+ struggles a lot, and the only way to get it back is to get low

Maybe the limitation is related to the combination of strong wind and overload warnings within a short time.
Finally it is not a bug, it is a security feature.

Amazing tests under very windy conditions.  Henrik, I think it lowered altitude because of the full battery load.   It probably didn't have enough power to maintain altitude.

I dont like the idea of the restriction, the Mini 2 doesn't have that characteristic.

Those overload warnings seem to happen in sports mode regardless of wind,  there was another test in Scotland on a calm day and he was getting those too.

I think that would be likely
