AP 15400 jfv3 poor power reserve?

My stainless steel v3 white dial arrived and I love it. But the movement will stop keeping time after a few hours. When I go to bed even if I keep it on the wrist, by the time I wake up the clock will have stopped hours earlier.

I noticed my rotor in this watch gets stuck easily. It will still do a full rotation if I really shake it but it doesn’t spin continuously as it should.

my question is - do all AP jf’s have poor power reserves? Or is this most likely because my rotor isn’t functioning properly? Will greasing it most likely fix the power reserves problem? Really love the watch just frustrated.

and yes I winded up the crown a ton.
