Have the same, but I put it down to my fiddling with it as I swapped a lever over from another post (right instead of left). Always on riding it would slow down and stop working even at fast setting (it only worked on fast anyway). Bled literally half a dozen times and perfect in the house. Rubbish on a ride, back in the house it would recover, though not always.
However from recent research I discover I’d been putting a silver adjuster lever on a newer Reverb (with black adjusters) and SRAM’s parts list says must match old silver lever with older posts, black for newer. So do wonder if there’s an issue with the amount of hydraulic pressure the older lever can create for a newer post. Hence why it only works on fast setting anyway and with temperature difference it stops working. Maybe.
Or there’s just some other problem like the lever is faulty anyway.
