Not shifting gears properly?

I have a new 2023 base cayenne (~2000 miles) and I notice that it often doesn't shift gears properly. I see this normally when going downhill and coasting and it won't shift out of 2nd gear until it revs out pretty high (around 3.5-4k RPMs). Anyone know if this is common? Should I be taking this in to get it looked at?

Did you enter the downhill grade at a slow speed (2nd gear) and then are you saying that with your foot off the throttle, it will stay in second all the way to 3500 rpm or so, then into 3rd, and then repeat again, into 4th ? I haven't tried that maneuver to see what would happen.

2023 base here too (now at 5k miles), I had service look at odd shifting at 2k (after break-in period) too - they have done reset of the learned shifting patterns and it's OK since - apparently going lightly during the break-in period gave the computer wrong idea of how to shift in regular use. It still holds 2nd longer than I'd like occasionally, but way less than before and not to the point it would bother me.

This seems to only happen when going downhill. It seems to happen in any gear that I'm currently at when starting to go downhill. Since I'm going downhill, I take my foot off the accelerator and it just keeps it in the gear and revs it high. One of the hills I normally go down I start in 2nd and it stays in that gear. Another hill, I'm usually in 4-5th gear and it revs out high in that gear as I go down.
