Could be all is well with your stove and cat. 7 years could be 42,000 hours or 0 hours on the cat.
You should calibrate your thermometer too.

good to know everything is working fine. Welcome to the dark side.The thermometer is calibrated. It was already set when I checked it.
Stove seems to be running pretty good now that figured out the problem....stupid operator.
I think I’ll replace the cat before winter comes back around in October.
Thanks for everyone’s help.

Careful now Doc....people will think you're prone to exaggerations.It’s really weird. The temp has been slowly dropping over the last couple hours on the stove. It got down to the active/inactive line and I figured I would check on it.....there was like 1 coal but the stove was still putting out SO much heat!
Now I know why these stoves are more efficient. I load it with one piece and it burns for hours.
Don't be scared of loading it full, after you charr the wood you can set the desire burn rate/temp needed when avoiding/minimizing the door, bypass, charr processIt’s really weird.

So this story is fully witnessed. A couple of years ago, we left for New Zealand. Loaded my stove with a piece of 8 year old walnut. About 70lbs. Then added some silver maple and 4 or so North Idaho Energy logs on top. Believe me it was full. We drove an hour to the local airport, flew to Seattle, rested and walked into hotel bar to watch Seahawks vs. Patriots.
Woke up next morning, drove to SEATAC airport and flew to LA. Left LA after a few hours and flew to Sydney. 15 hour flight! Sat in Sydney for 5 hours then flew to Auckland. Waited an hour for a bus, took 1 hour bus ride, boarded rental car on ferry to Wahiki Island. Wife called our son to let him know we arrived safe...son wanted to know what time to load rthe King as it was still burning the last of the Energy Logs.
All in all.....50+ hours. And I've been married 35 plus years....
Have noticed the same with our stove. The mass of steel and iron radiate heat for a long time, even when there is just enough coals to start a new fire.It’s really weird.
