Moderators might make the occasional mistake but in general, the team has a pretty good idea what they are talking about.
I haven't got a P4 to check but I was assuming that the RTH programming is the same as the P3 (like most of the P4 systems are.)
But I'd be quite surprised if a P4 descends to RTH.
It would be easy to check exactly what happened and see the real numbers.

Follow the instructions to upload your flight record.Look at the flight record it provides and there'll be no more guessing.
btw 200 metres is very high to set your RTH.
To climb (up to) 200 m and descend from 200m will require quite a bit of battery and take almost two minutes which would be a dealbreaker in a low battery situation.
It's probably a better idea to set RTH just high enough (plus a safety margin) to clear whatever obstacles are in your flying area.
If I get some time to mess with that I'll do it, is there a time limit, or flight limit on the data? Meaning, heck I've flown a bunch of times since, it may not be there?
Well, that's why I said I wouldn't want to call you out, because I'm only going by what the flight data on my tablet shows. That alone isn't enough, or good enough information to reliably say.
I agree it's high, but for where I am, with honest 90'-110' trees, they're remarkable, true tall SOBs, and with a boosted setup, I am not losing signal on anything that's not pushing the limits, I'll probably bring it back to 120m. It's just too well documented and known personally by my own 28hrs (which isn't a lot compared to some of you guys) but enough for me to know, height brings reception, usually, but I'll consider your input. I'm not being a jerk or anything, just being honest. I have to consider advice, then make my own deductions, I really don't like the idea of first losing control of my aircraft, but then to break guidelines to recover the bird on top of losing flight control, may compound my troubles.
Thanks for the GPS info Meta, and I'll likely drop it to the 400'.
I guess I am unlike the others here, I always seem to have enough juice, but that my area, if I could push it further then I would understand better, but 20m at a time for me is plenty (with 3 batteries that's well over an hour if I start charging one right away)
I did surpass a mile in my area which is further then ever before unboosted, 100' trees and being a resort area mean it's filled with both obstacles and high floor noise throughout, lousy with WiFi and other noisy frequencies.
