Checking 4EAT Transmission Fluid dipstick?

Picked up a 2011 Forester for kid to drive. Starting to replace trans fluids, and first drain and fill only used 3 quarts until the dipstick reads full on the Hot ( higher side).

But only drained on the level surface for about 5 to 10 minutes until the fluid was in a slow drizzle..

Is that expected?

I didn't measure fluid, I simply drained and assumed because everyone said about 4 qts, that would be about ball park. After 2 QTs put it dipstick below the first cold fill hole mark. 3 Qts through it just above the top hole on Hot...so I'm leaving it there.
