EOS 6D Mark II ND filter causing dark images

Canon 6D Mark II

I took some waterfall pics today using a variable ND filer. The ones were dialed in 2-3 stops were fine, but when I went any darker, the photos were very dark, nearly black. I was in Aperture Priority (f5.6 or 6.3), so my understanding is that the camera would read the darker image and lengthen the shutter speed. 

As I look at the photos, the few that came out well seem to be around a second or so but the darker ones are all over the map on shutter speed. several at 1/125. It is as if the camera had no idea what to do. 

Neither do it, now. Can anyone help?

 

(I've tried to attaches a couple of samples but they don't upload, even though I reduced them to 600k. I don't seen any stickers on this page on how to upload photos.)

Thanks, I could not find it in the specs. There goes that theory.

Agree but I don’t know why jt would think that. Nothing else changed but me rotating the ND filter.
