I'm confused. When the snmp-ups driver starts, does it immediately see the TRIM state and initiate a shutdown, or does this only happen after going on battery once?

Other SNMP sub-drivers map the "TRIM" status to "OL TRIM", so I suspect the same could be done for the 'apcc' MIB setting.

From a quick look at the code, it's possible that the MIB auto-detection is pushing the error count over the limit. What configuration variables do you have in ups.conf?
