The standard cure for any potentiometres is to move them several times their full range. That should take care of light dust gathered on less used areas.

If that doesn't do the trick, it should still be under warranty. I don't know about your whereabouts but most likely it's more than 6 months.

Mine did the same. Initially calibration and updating software helped, but when the problem returned, I opened mine and dropped small drop of multipurpose oil to the potentiometer. It solved the problem.

Also, when setting throttle in AH, make sure there's no dead band in it.
