Idle Speed In FORM

[SAJN]

So, the Jeep went into FORM mode after just being there no more than 4 weeks ago which is annoying in itself. But, the idle now seems to be stuck at 1K. Is that normal for this situation or do I have a problem?
I have had an idle issue before while under warranty and they replaced an oxygen sensor. Could this be another bad one? Looking for opinions before I bite the bullet and take it in for service!

I always feel that my idle's too high when in FORM, but maybe that's because I run electric about 90% of the time, and even when discharged the engine still shuts off when slowing and stopped. It might be that we're just not used to the engine pulling a little when stopped, so when it enters FORM we feel the difference.

FORM is there primarily in the winter due to engine oil condensation issues. It's keeping the RPMs up in an attempt to heat the oil up.

Don't forget the vehicle only has like 130hp or something in electric mode. The engine running, especially at 1k RPM, is adding substantial torque and power compared to just EV mode.
