Ahh long distance problem-solving, I guess I didn't get enough of it in my normal job today.
Have you physically observed the trace meter showing 30A, equal to the generator out 30A before?
What happens if you adjust the charger up to 32 or 34 amps? does this affect the amps-in number you see on your inverter/charger?
Do you have an independent way to measure AC amps (clamp meter?) perhaps either the generator's meter or the trace's meter is not calibrated properly.
My gut feeling is that your generator seems to be running longer because your loads are greater or your RE input is smaller than it used to be. Unless you have a monster system, 30 AAC charging should get you out of bulk and into absorb within an hour or two, 26AAC in bulk shouldn't make that much of a time difference. at least that's what happens on my system.
If you want further help, post your system specs. Solar/wind watts, physical location, Battery amp hour capacity, charger settings on the inverter, battery temperature, etc.
