The 5 second "burp" in normal and it is there to warn the pilot that the motor will stop in 5 seconds.

Need more info on using too much battery question.  How much are you putting back in?  Keeping with the 75 to 80 % rule, you should be keeping the drain on the batteries less than 2300 to 2400mah.

Does the motor completely stop or just slows down?
I believe it just slows down. But not so much that it falls out the sky.

Does it stop with or without a propellor?

If you have no propellor and the brake setting (in the ESC) is set to be very aggressive, then I can see the motor stopping completely during the 'warning' burp.

I don't think that the timer is supposed to go to a 'Stop' condition (less than 1.1 msec) but only supposed to slow it to half throttle or so during the warning burp.
