Default Catalyst readiness Incomplete despite multiple drive cycles

Hi everyone, I'm at my wits end trying to get the Catalyst check on my 2015 Accord LX to be emissions "Ready" for a smog check. I've done the drive cycle specified in both the owner's manual and service's manual at least 7-8 times spanning across 300+ miles, but no luck. Everything else is Ready except for the Catalyst.

I thought I might have some out of spec O2 sensors, so I used an OBDII reader + Torque pro app to check. The upstream and downstream O2 sensors seem to behave normal with the downstream sensor switching nicely between 0.1-0.7V, while the upstream sensor fluctuates when but always normalize back to 0mA.

The car has no current or pending fault code. But I do notice the "Current" drive cycle have a few checks listed as "Not available", mainly EVAP System and Fuel System, while the "Readiness Since DTC" data shown those as "Complete". I don't know if this means the car lost access to those sensors.

I would like to troubleshoot a bit more before handing it over to a dealership to have them take a look, so any tips would be appreciated. Thanks!

EDIT: Weirdly was able to set the catalyst monitor today. I tried the service manual version of the drive cycle again today, focusing solely on the Catalytic Converter section. But instead of 5 miles in stop-and-go, and have the coolant above 156C prior to driving, I warmed it up to 176C, and I drove a bit longer, 8 miles. Upon braking at a red light, the monitor turned green.



Current Drive Cycle shows EVAP and Fuel system as "Not Available", but Emission Readiness since DTC shows them as "Complete".



Bank 1 Sensor 1 in mA, and Bank 1 Sensor 2 in V.
