The sensor is not very sensitive. I've had no trouble ceiling bouncing on turbo s. You can also always just block it with tape.
I think the output discrepancy is because of manufacturing, not their measurements, which seem to usually match with my calibrated sphere. I assume this because there has been some X7Rs that do reach 12000 lumens initially when the light is turned on. Also, Olight's specs for the X7R do not specify the 12000 lumens at 30 seconds but for maximum in the beginning. That's what they told me when I got my low numbers.
Olight also says should the battery wear out they will replace the battery pack. You can send the light in for service or they can send you a new one with a tool to open the tailcap and instructions on how to change it yourself. In normal use the pack will no doubt last a long time.
Here's the battery pack opened by a reviewer
Here's Goinggear visiting the Olight factory. They seem to actually test the lights and not pull the numbers out of you know where.

Olight World: You can take the battery pack out and it is serviceable. We can either send it to you and tell you how to do it or you can send it in.
