@steve-williams , I did some power mesurements here on the same setup I mentioned in my previous post to give you a clear picture about the current consumption while the modem is trying to attach so as to help you identifying the problem , in first trial I intentionally powered off the CAT-M1 network in office and run a script on GPY trying to attach

you can see that the modem current consumption increases after sending attach request and keep trying to attach periodically, you can see that the Avg.current consumption when trying to attach can reach 285mA (150mA more than normal).
The following image is when CAT-M1 network is back online and attaching is successful :
