BQ34Z100 Learning Cycle - Update Status won't change to 0x05

We have been following the process below with a 4400 mAh battery.

  1. Start with a fully discharged and relaxed battery (typically the battery is discharged and left to sit overnight)
  2. Send an IT Enable Command (RUP_DIS is cleared, VOK is set, QEN is set, and UPDATE_STATUS is 0x04)
  3. Charge battery to full at C/2 (FC bit is successfully set)
  4. Wait until OCVTAKEN goes high, UPDATE_STATUS changes to 0x05, VOK is cleared, and Qmax is learned.
  5. Discharge at C/5. (VOK is set again).
  6. Wait until battery is relaxed. UPDATE_STATUS should change to 0x06.

We can successfully complete the first three steps of this process. During step four, VOK is cleared and OCVTAKEN goes high, but UPDATE_STATUS and Qmax never change. We let the battery sit for several hours with no change.

I've attached the log files.
