The previous documentation of flags for the R900 protocol don't seem to explain what I'm seeing with the Leak and LeakNow flags "Unkn1": 161, "NoUse": 0, "BackFlow": 0, "Consumption": 1054768, "Unkn3": 0, "Leak": 15, "LeakNow": 3, "Protocol": "r900"

I see a lot of forum posts with others having similar flags of Leak 15 and LeakNow 3. What does these mean? It doesn't match the previous decode documenation where Leak should only go up to 6 and LeakNow only values 0-2.

My understanding is that Leak represent a total number of segments in a given period, so 15 segments in some period but not sure what the period is. LeakNow is similar I think but for a 24 hour period.
