Valve wont fill past 3000psi?

Morning, all

Originally, I had thought perhaps that my CF tank was leaking. I would fill it up with the compressor and then some days later, use it to fill a gun and it would only fill to right at 3kpsi.
Today, I topped it off and it was near 4kpsi. Filled to just under 4500 and went to fill a gun. Simply will not go past 3k psi. Not on the tank gauge, nor the gun gauge. I know the gauge works because it showed near 4500psi when filling. Leaves the valve far as I can tell. Also tried another whip on it. Same thing.
Anyone hear of such before? I'd just bought this valve a couple years ago and has seen light use.

Never heard of that before, at least not with a regulator in the system . . . .

What happens when you dead head the line? Do you get full tank pressure into the line? If so, that would indicate the issue is at the gun end and not the tank end . . .

Not sure what else to offer up . . .

Does that male foster in your fill setup have a check valve in it? I can't think of any other reason it would stop at 3K. I've seen check valves with adjustable springs that cut off at certain psi. If so, remove it.

No spring in the check valve... I'm at a loss as well. Talked with Grackleblast who has a valve for me so will give that a go. I got the valve from PA a couple years ago and was advertised as a 'slow fill' valve and most of my guns that I was shooting at the time only filled to 3kpsi so I didnt pay it much attention. Then when I did notice it, I just grabbed another tank. Now it's irritating me enough to dive into it. But think Grackleblast las me squared up!
