FYI: The systeminfo bundle is not this system info list, it's the zipped file you can find at the and of the systeminfo list.

Also it could be (very likely) that the printer firmware does not pass on the filament run out event to the host software via USB.

Your firmware needs to tell OctoPrint to pause on filament runout. Check this FAQ entry:

You'll probably have to update/change your firmware.

Thank you very much foosel, I cannot find "#define HOST_ACTION_COMMANDS" in Configuration_adv.h. Thinking I'll need to upgrade the firmware at one point... My Ender 5 Plus is running firmware version 1.70.2...
