Anyone else notice some robot mowers struggle once spring grass gets thick?

This spring I've noticed my robot mower has been having a harder time once the grass started growing thicker and faster. Earlier in the year it kept up pretty well, but lately if I skip a day or two, the lawn already looks a bit overgrown again. After rain especially, the mower itself seems to slow down a bit, and some areas don't come out as even as before.

My yard is mostly open, so getting around isn't really the issue. I'm more wondering which mowers actually do well during peak growing season and can keep mowing steadily over a bigger area without needing a lot of babysitting. I don't mind occasional charging breaks, but I'd like something that can stay consistent when the grass gets heavier in spring.

Anyone else run into this? Curious what models you guys are using from Goat and how they handle thicker grass over time. Appreciate any feedback.
