High readings

I've been using PPv3 for some time now on my road bike, and it was quite accurate, as I was able to compare its readings with Assioma Duo powermeter, so I'm very satisfied with its performance.
Recently, I got myself a new gravel bike, so I decided to create a new profile for it. Everything went well, and I was prompt to do a calibration ride. That is where strange things started to happen. I went for normal calibration routine (not O&B), since I have already done it for my road bike profile. After pairing with my sensors, there was constant yellow light, which should turn in to blinking as you start to ride the bike, and the power should rise from 0 to 100, after which the calibration process is complete. On this ride the power started to rise gradually to 100w, after which it returned to 50W, froze on that value for couple of minutes, and then started to rise again to 100W, and then displayed actual values which are, according to my estimate 30% too high.
Today, I decided to repeat the process, but this time with O&B procedure, everything went as it should, but my readings are still too high.
I'm enclosing ibr files from today's O&B cal ride, and test ride, and from one of my previous road bike rides which is accurate.
