What happened?

Upon update to the new B3 firmware on an ESP32, I noticed a rhythmic bright-dim blink while my lights (sk6812 rgbw with accurate setting for white) were set to solid white. Upon further inspection, it seemed they were trying to pull maximum power even with Limiter set at 2000 ma. It was evident by the dimming of the ESP32 red led when it would blink. My USB power block also heated up quickly.

To Reproduce Bug

Run B3 on ESP32. Set brightness Limiter to 2000 ma. Using 5v sk6812 rgbw 144leds/m and a 2.4 amp USB block, run a 1 meter strip on white using accurate white calculation in settings and then turn the brightness to max on color page.

Expected Behavior

Not for it to try to burn up my power supply with the brightness limiter set to 400 ma below it's capacity(Yes, I know I should have it fused and need a way bigger power supply for the full potential of these lights. I just have to get back around to this particular project and get the stuff ordered.)

Install Method

Binary from WLED.me

What version of WLED?

WLED 0.14.0-b3

Which microcontroller/board are you seeing the problem on?

ESP32

Relevant log/trace output

No response

Anything else?

Just a note, I rolled back to b1 and all is working as it should again. If you need more info, I can try to gather it at your request. Thanks for all you do for this project because WLED is pretty cool!!
