Timken recommends the hub half full, they caution against filling it all the way because it will run hotter.
You would have to show me some verifiable reference for that since IMO only filling the hub half full makes ZERO SENSE and would be COMPLETELY USELESS for the EZ lube type system to work.
My BS FLAG is at full staff and at attention.

"NOTE: You should allow enough space in the housing for heat dissipation so excess grease throws clear from
the bearing. Contain the grease around the bearing. The housing should normally be 1/3 to 1/2 full of grease
during bearing assembly. Too much grease in the housing may cause high temperatures and excess churning of
the grease."
I'd say your BS flag is suffering from erectile dysfunction....:R
