I'm using a CR-10v3 with a BL-Touch v3.1 for 4.2.7 mainboard addon. Printer is using the Klipper firmware and as such, doesn't recognize commands like M420. Based on the example GCODE on the BedLevelVisualizer page, I'm using:

Install the Bed Visualizer plugin in Settings add the gcode from https://github.com/jneilliii/OctoPrint-BedLevelVisualizer/blob/master/wiki/gcode-examples.md for the Sidewinder X2 (you might want to modify the temperatures).

One final note for those looking around, Bed Visualizer has different examples of some G code found here: https://github.com/jneilliii/OctoPrint-BedLevelVisualizer/blob/master/wiki/gcode-examples.md which I'm looking at as well, but didn't want to add more complexity until I figure out what's going on.
Is my Anycubic Kobra Go bed truly this warped or is there something else going on here?

Just confirming - nozzle is too close in the middle (my bed is like an upside-down bowl)?
1 project | /r/prusa3d | 13 Jan 2023

I agree with the other commenter that the middle is too low. If you're using Octoprint at all, you can install the Bed Level Visualizer plugin to get a good visual.

BLTouch wouldn't adjust for a low spot on the left side of the bed. I set up OctoPrint (pi) to try and have more control and visualize the warping, but now that I'm using OctoPi for control, it won't stop updating the mesh.

BLTouch plugin Bed visualization plugin Like the title says, I've been having issues with the BLTouch and not adjusting the Z height when going over the left side of the bed. When I try to update the mesh through OctoPi, I do get a new mesh, but after the 9th point is probed, it'll restart the probing from point #1 with no way to stop this process.
