Is resting, morning, 11.8V considered a low SOC?
Then yes, I did draw down my Deka AGM before I learned about proper charging. The first two years I knew nothing about battery charging.
I have drawn my Optimas down so low they would not run my 12V fridges.
See my profile. They all get older every year. I beat the snot out of them. I am underwhelmed about all the stories about how long batteries last.
When they die, they will be replaced with 100AH $169 12V AGMs from the local discount club. One in the TT and one in the van.
