Unhappy Drag levels double after switching to transient

MachZero is on a distinguished road
I am encountering a problem where I am calculating drag over a somewhat bluff body. There is separated flow in the region behind the object and vortex shedding ensues. When I simulate this in steady state mode, the drag oscillated due to the shedding but I get an average close to experiment. When I switch to transient after I start calculated drag still oscillates but the magnitude of average deaf roughly doubles. Anyone seen this before? We can't figure this out on my end
