There are many reasons why you might see lower power and current draw in a quadcopter than specified.
- Flight controller / PID controller might reserve top throttle, it needs the extra headroom to stabilize the quadcopter in the air
- LiPo battery limit, discharge rate too low
- Manufacturers over-stated the specs
If this is just hobby to you, I wouldn't worry about it, it looks pretty normal to me. Just go out flying and enjoy
