Rail Pressure At Idle

Not sure if I may have a problem or not but it seems my rail pressure has dropped at idle. With the TNT rp set at 3 the past couple weeks I have seen my idle pressure at 7500psi, now recently it idles at 5000psi. Other than that truck runs the same , just curious if this could be an indication of something on its way out, plugged filters or just normal for it to change. Any insight would help.
Thanks

Thanks for the input like I said not sure if I have a problem but seeing 2500psi less than before has got me concerned.

Mine has done the same thing. Last time it changed I unplugged my RP gauge and plugged it back in. Problem solved.

Thanks Spooler will give that a try tomorrow, if that does not work I will change my 2 micron filter and go from there.
