Bite point shouldn't change as pads wear out. Might be an adjuster somewhere loosening off and affecting the mechanics of the lever, resulting in more throw?
That said, if you pump the brakes, does the bite point sort itself out at all?

True but once I got trough a whole pad they really go soft. Also, the throw adjustment may undo itself slightly on very bumpy rides. That's for SRAM road but may just be the same case with Shimano.

Hmmmm I did adjust the lever stroke to reduce the bite point, maybe that's rattled loose (it is on my gravel bike). I'll have a look at that and also just try re-bleeding the fucker again overnight with the lever strapped to the bar. Thanks for the pointers.

It's firm but the bite point has changed. Could worn pads and rotor cause this? Or should the excess oil in the reservoir account for this?
