right, even when the AGS is ENABLED, it will/should only start the generator when the parameters of your VOLTS or TEMPS settings are reached, and usually only when they've been reached for at least two continuous minutes - which is to reduce 'nuisance' starting of the generator when volt readings fall only temporarily while under a temporary load, such as the microwave.

ENABLE with QUIET TIME does the same, except it prohibits the AGS from starting the Gen within the set of hours you choose.
This is when you need to also make sure your LBCO setting is left at an appropriate setting to not allow the Inverter to continue to drain the batteries too far... a good rule of thumb setting is 11.5. Not enough to drain the batteries too far, and still enough for the AGS to start the generator when the Quiet Time hours are passed.
