How often were you spritzing? And was the sweet tea cold? Sure seems like a long stall. But I suppose if you have the time and the means to wait it out, all that matters is the end product. Looks like it was tasty.
The final product was a success. I spritzed every hour from hours 5-19. It was cold tea. It's a method I've used for years on brisket.
 
The Pork buttes look good though.

I also have an MES 40 and I just did the PID conversion to it. I used The Auber Instruments Controller.
The last smoke that I did I was getting 15 degrees swings in Smoker temps.
Just did some ribs and with the new controller I was within 1 degree at all times!
You were worried about 15* swings?:emoji_joy:
A temp swing of 50* is something to worry about, although it wouldn't likely be noticeable in the final outcome 9X out of 10. I don't start worrying about temp swings until they are 75* or more.

But whatever works for you, is the correct way.:emoji_thumbsup:
