Run dGPU stress and see if crashes.
Switch to iGPU with gfxcardstatus and check what happens; about system stability and battery.

It seems like sometimes more likely to crash while stressing dgpu but other times I can run video, valley software and external display until battery is dead. I think more likely to crash while charging than when just battery. Is there any reason you can think of that would make sense? Something in charging circuit / voltage fluctuation occasionally causing kernel panic or something?
Full dGPU performance is not available with battery alone.
Even CPU is throtlled down there.

Be aware, if external monitor is connected, dGPU is forced on.

Hmmmm, seems that newest gfxcardstatus versions don't work properly.
Yeah seems as though it doesn't work with Ventura/A1990 anyway. Well in regards to my case, I buried the MacBook for 20 plus hours and it hasn't frozen or crashed but it does still spin fans up if you force it off which gives me good reason to believe it still has issue. Any advice? I think the battery I got from IG isn't the best and going to try one today from MS just to see but seems like the board has some nagging issue.
Are you sure the problem was present with original battery too?
If you still have it, test again.
