Figured it out
I had to change my z-offset on my Ender 5's console the Gcode wasn't working so I just changed it there in a desperate stupor and it worked! thank you all for everything I have learned a ton about GCODE and OctoPrint.
also the M211 S0 doesnt really matter when it comes to the offset as it is M851 so as long as your M851 command matches what you need for a Z offset everything should be good to go. I had taken me a bit to learn about 3d printing and I am always learning it seems
That was my conclusion, because I have never had to send the M851 command. I set up bltouch prior to using a remote console so I had set it on the LCD.
I wonder what command they are using. With octoprint connected it would be interesting to know what you see in terminal tab when pressing said buttons.
May I give my 2 cents here ?
I had the same issue some days ago, with my Ender3Pro . Hotend always to high and printing in the air.
Re-calibrating using the printers menue AND plugins of any kind did no change .
Problem just was : Printers EEprom .. I reset the ender to factory settings, re-calibrated my extruder real quick and did the Bed-Level thingie from the printers menue .. now I'm fine again.
So probably your eeprom is messed up .. I had this 2 or 3 times in "the last years" ..
Thats not an Octoprint issue I bet.

@MAMEniac so I went in and ran m502 and reset to factory and then calibrated it and it seemed to work. But just today it started doing it again even after I reset everything to stock. however my ender 5 pro didn't come with the 32bit control board, they tried to sneak in an 8 bit and I just discovered it so that is probably my issue since I have been flashing the wrong firmware...
The MUST be a way to fix that ..so resetting the eeprom re-set everything and writing it back to the eeprom helped so fax ? So we know nothing is really broken ..
I habe a "spare" pcb for the ender3 .. it came with an broken driver for the extruder, but I got a spare one as well but I need to wait that my smd-rework station is back. Then I will to try to fix it. If all this is done, you can have this board .. all for free of course . Hope this is an idea !?
Hopefully the shipping will not be more expensive than a new pcb
