Happens to me occasionally.
The particular commute that I was on has me driving at the posted speed limits of 25 to 35mph. It is through residential areas. Under these conditions, I only get forced regen when the SOC hits 4 bars.

Driving at freeway speeds, I frequently get the mild regen that you are referring to. This is actually why the SOC was at seven bars. My wife had been driving it on the freeway just before this commute.
