Spokes measured 2.27mm on my vernier guage. On the chart, 2.3mm was nearest and 27 worked out as 92kgf. Don't know the rim make so can't look up/ask the correct tension

I think your rim will be a Ryde Andra if it’s stock.
Afaik 2.3mm is 13g, and I agree with Jon - it sounds like spoke wind up / false tension so your wheels are at much lower tensions once they’ve settled themselves. Have had it happen to me before (with front and rear wheels) built with 13g and 14g spokes -in combo with not being mindful enough of removing wind up during tensioning

27 -on 11 (?) gauge spokes I think would be too low. With cargo bikes id be especially careful to remove any spoke windup / false tension. Grease the shit out of the threads / nipples and use nipple washers.
On 11 gauge spokes I’d be tempted to use some sort of threadlock or special nips.. but are they def 11g ?
