I will plot mine again, but it was been steadily decreasing and not showing any signs of leveling out. I guess I shouldn't expect that since batteries only lose capacity, not gain capacity, but I would surely would expect capacity to level out in cool weather in your case. For me, it's cooled off a bit the last couple days, but still "warm".
For your car, it looks like you bought it used?
57Ah for 9,000 miles in Canada seems pretty low, even if the car is around 2 years old based on your VIN. I'd say that the BMS is still learning the capacity of the pack...
The last week I've tried using the Blink timer to avoid charging all the way up to 80% since I typically use about 30% SOC each day - I time it to get around 65-70%, then car sits all day around 50-55% and then sits at home around 40% until the timer goes off. I doubt it will make a significant difference at this point in the game, but isn't hard to do and a 10% reduction in average SOC in theory should be good. Anyone else notice that Ah seems to dip when SOC is lower and then bounces back up after getting charged?
Here's the latest chart of Ah on my car.
