    Set 25 ;-)

    If it is an inverter then most units will go to lowest running power, for one degree past set point, before switching off. Best option is to set a slightly higher temp.

    Hi your rating of your AC is just a number at one point, you may be getting more or less depending on many factors.
    I would say just turn up thermostat by 2C (it may just be a calibration issue) When testing control temps you must have thermometer in the same place as AC thermostat sensor.
    If AC is way to big, you tend to find the the room will have very high RH.

    Also, set the fan to its lowest speed.

    If the return air is warmer than the room it is because the return has picked up the load from the room.

    More details as to the type, location and airflow around, from and back to the unit would be useful.

    Whereabouts is the remote controller in relation to where you are measuring the room temperature?

    What happens to the room temperature when to increase the control temperature by 2 degrees?

    Your main problem is that the A/Cis to big for the area being conditioned keep setting the temp higher till you are happy

    The unit is over sized. Not only temperature will go down humidity also will increase. Best thing is to change the air quantity to suit your requirement then the thermostat can take over to modulate within a range.

    With what instrument you are measuring that temperatures? Is it calibrated?
    Or you are giving us temperatures of unit thermistors read from remote control and actual room temperature read from some measuring instrument.

    It looks to me that your measuring instrument is off by 1.5°C

    Turn the fan speed down to the LOWEST you can select. This will mean less air circulation so less output from the unit.

    particulary useful if the unit is oversized.
