Cabling is your bottleneck, a very common problem that causes grief for the poor 2000w inverter…Early on, I learned this the hard way, but now likely a bit overkill at 0004, 3’ with silver soldered and crimped copper lugs, but no more inverter alarms!!

Check each cable voltage end to end under load. Load test your batteries as they could be weak. Unbalanced loading causes more usage on the nearest pair and shorter life.
Thanks for your replies. Yes, I regularly check the cells with a hydrometer and all are good. The voltage at the inverter drops to 11.8 which is where it will drop off line

They are wired to the nearest pair. The batteries are connected with #2 awg cables
