If it went down, warrant it.

I've actually found the same thing with my cheaper cannondale carbon post. have to tighten it way over recommended to get it to stay put.
Having ridden both a fair bit now I'm not convinced the 12 is much of an improvement over the 10. the fork flexes a lot in comparison, both under braking and heavy cornering.

Just in case anyone is interested in the Cannondale SAVE carbon post and has a CAAD12 - I bought said post, torqued it precisely too spec and it moved. I discovered it moved whilst out riding it, and ended up having to over-torque it by what felt like a lot to stop it moving.
It cracked, or at least has started too crack.
I'm going to keep on using it, after I've murdered it with carbon assembly paste, which I should likely have used on first assembly.
However, it's quite under-sized, the Thomson post I had in before (a nominal 25.4 exactly the same as the Cannondale post) was rock-solid at 4.5Nm, whilst the Cannondale post went down like Trump in front of an engorged Putin.
