It sounds like your normal control pattern is not working properly heatpump before temp drops another degree then auxiliary heat etc. to check this you need to work your thermostat carefully and document what the unit does.
If your room temp is 70 put your setpoint at 72 then document how the unit reacts that will give us enough info to proceed

Id say check on the ODT that works with the dual fuel H/P control kit. That turns you from H/P to gas

What is being used to control this? Tstat or Duel Fuel kit?
Model# of the control.
