Our toilet which is a year old has begun to have a problem with its flush.
It flushes seemingly normally but then when the cistern has filled water comes down the pan for about 20-30 seconds then stops.
Hoping somebody has a fix for this

If it is a new valve then some valves do do this, there is a name for them which I cant remember right now.

Equilibrium fill valves dont shut off quickly like others do.

Thank you everybody. I thought I would post pictures

of the level of water. It fills right up to the edge of the overflow pipe (?) escapes down there was some time then stabilises and stops

Long and boring video of the flush but may be helpful to see
