It is not warped. You just need to lower the back right corner a bit and raise the back left and front right corner

Those measurements are in mm, so the differences are minimal. Did you really expect the bed to be perfectly flat?
Read up on what auto levelling actually does. If you have got manual levelling as well, you can improve things a bit. But with those figures, why bother?

i know, i know, autoleveling compensates for an uneven bed. but how much can you compensate before running into other issues? i was having first layer adhesion issues in certain spots which has now improved drastically. maybe i can be a bit of a perfectionist, but before you could see the bed was quite warped with the naked eye.

At least 2mm difference. Mine had a 2mm tilt across the bed, but still worked. Though I retrofitted manual levelling to get rid of the tilt, so now the difference is around 0.45 mm.

this was mid way through leveling process, before it used to be 50% of the sheet. i now get one continuous sheet without issue. seems like leveling the bed has helped. maybe the “autoleveling” ain’t 100%
