The question is: Do we always dive with our diluyent tank full?

Last week, diving solo to 82 mtrs, i run out of diluyent in the way down. I brake the surface with no more than 50 bar in my onboard diluyent.
I've two bailouts with me.
Between 60 and 70 mtrs, i run out diluyent. I had to connect my offboard diluyent to my manual add button and keep going down.
When i research the 82 mtrs, i've no gas for my wing (luckely i was in wetsuit). I had to flush up a little my loop, change the connection from the loop to the wing that was.

After that, i 've learn that i need to full my diluyent onboard tank every dive.

Best
