Question About Active Spoiler Staying Up on AMG GTC Edition 50

I picked up my AMG GTC Edition 50 and love it so far! There is only one thing I can't figure out on it. When I'm driving and push the button above the windshield to activate the active spoiler, it only stays up from anywhere between 30 seconds to a minute before dropping back down. Is this normal and if so, is there a way to bypass the system so the spoiler stays up for the duration of the drive? And also at what speed is it supposed to raise on it's own? Any info would be awesome! Thanks!

It stays up in Sport and sport Plus. In comfort, it drops. Believe it’s 75mph before it deploys.

Press and hold for it to stay up for around 2 seconds

If you manually deploy the spoiler it will always stay up unless you hit 75mph. If you do hit 75mph, once you decelerate back down around 35mph the spoiler will go back down

AMG GT 4 door active spoiler

I have a 2020 GT 53, at around 85 rear spoiler raises to first position. At around 115 it raises to second/max position. Drops down to first position when speed drops under around 105/110.

I disliked the active spoiler so much I replaced it with a fixed one. I haven't noticed any additional fuel consumption and now I don't get that irritating up and down dance. My GTC is my daily driver and the sound bugged me.
