BQ25892: Oddity in charging behavior. Charge current jumps up, then goes to 0, then resumes until end of charging cycle

Part Number: BQ25892

The charge current looks like this:

This is a plot from data logged with Battery Management Studio that is monitoring the gas gauge IC on the battery pack.

Vertical axis is current in mA.  Horizontal axis is time.  I'm charging a 1S3P Li-Ion pack.

I'm also dumping most of the BQ25892 registers to a terminal window. 

What is causing the charger to suddenly increase the charge current, then stop charging, and then resume again?

Thanks
