[Nut-upsuser] UPS shuts down after restart

Do you mean "fully discharged" (that is not the case here, not even LB).
But I guess even in this case nut should trigger a clean system shutdown and not only shutting down the UPS?

I think nut is correctly reading the "OL DISCHRG" from the UPS. It is obviously OL (I plugged it into the socket) and the display shows it's using the battery.
My guess is, that nut is sending the shutdown to the UPS when booting up during this scenario.
When I'm back at home, I'll try to manually call `upsdrvctl shutdown` to check if the UPS then goes to 'OL DISCHRG' and try to capture an usbhid dump. But I probably have only one minute time :-)

I hope I won't trash the SD card of the RasPi with all this crashing :-D
