With semi-hydraulics you only need to wear 1/10 of a millimeter to have the levers bottoming on the bars.
I had a faulty pair of HyRD that did not compensate and I ran out of brakes during Gent-Wevelgem, which is essentially flat... but it was very muddy and wet. Had to stop and botched a repaired by manually pulling the arm to get the pads closer.
They were since replaced by HyRD with working ones

TRP stock pads by any chance? They are super weary.

Stock pads are ok, it's just when you got the cable too tight, it doesn't self adjust and end up loosing power.

That's the common issues with customer running HY/RD, they have a habit of tighten the cable a gnat too much and suddenly lost power then complaint the brake pads worn out.
