Just went out and checked, both cameras were set to "low", which explains the behavior. I just set them both to "off", problem solved! Apologies jokiin, no need to investigate this PEBKAC error (or maybe it's PEBDCAC -- Problem Exists Between Dash Cam And Chair
)
Anyways, reviewing my 128 GB Adata cards (I swapped them on 10/27 in favor of 200GB PNY cards), the oldest drive I have a full record of is 10/12, which has 17 "uneventful" videos, and 51 "event" videos, each lasting about a minute. The "RO" folder has files from 10/5 to 10/27, but the main folder only goes as far back as 10/5, right around when I upgraded the firmware and formatted the card. In the card with a capacity of 119 GB, a full 37.9 GB (31.8%) is considered "eventful". 30 GB even (25.2%) if you only count from 10/11 and more recent.
The part I don't like is that once "event" footage is stored, it is kept, even if that means a full third of the card is nothing but event footage. That's why I'm turning it off -- I still have the screen come on for three minutes at the start of each drive so I can make sure it powers up properly and isn't experiencing issues, but I don't need to be storing pseudo-eventful drives in a manner that minimizes the space available for actually eventful drives that may not involve an impact. I'd prefer to make it to a computer and simply pull the most recent footage.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind if the older "event" footage was cycled at the same time as the regular stuff. It does seem to redirect the footage to the "RO" folder on an event, rather than simply recording the same file twice like my Thinkware F750 did, which is nice. Good lord I hated that thing...(similar to a smoke detector in your kitchen going off if you burn your toast, at least you know its standing by)
