The model seems a tad too relaxed with its relaxation. As per Smith et al, 2019, the ice relaxes back towards climatology with a timescale of two months. The year 2000 plot (below) includes data from cb459 (which has a 24-hour relaxation). As would be expected, this agrees with the climatology a lot better.
NOTE: The relaxation climatologies are monthly.
