Only had my GT eGrade Bolt a couple of days, that comes with the Mahle X35+. My biggest revalations so far are...

Level 1 assist has a max of 100W.
Level 2 assist has a max of 175W.
Level 3 assist has a max of 250W.
The %s shown under the eco/city/sport/custom presets in the MySmartBike app for each level is of the above max Watts.

MySmartBike app appears to consume a lot of battery, maybe it's my old phone, 50% in 20mins last night! :ohmy:
https://intervals.icu/ has told me that the MySmartBike app only updates every ~4secs for me, cannot see a way to change it like I can on my Lezyne GPS Computer
The auto assist mode doesn't appear to work for X35.
The heart rate auto assist mode is still a mystery and some reading suggests it's best to turn the mode off.

Firmware appears to be "54," no idea if that's the latest.
Firmware cannot be updated through app for X35, needs a ~£100 CGU unit plugged into bike's charge port and file on FAT32 USB stick, suggestions LBSs might charge ~£75+ to update firmware for you if ebike not purchased from them!:ohmy:

Mahle Pulsar One computer looks to cover a fair bit of the app functionality, ~£85+

iWOC button on top tube is basic, but fine, providing you don't want to tweak things on your ride

Fair play if you had written that in Japanese I would have understood the same amount, nil!

Are you using the MySmartBike app to record the rides? This is what drains the phone battery due to using the GPS from my experience on a couple of rides.
