Parrot imagines, designs and builds more innovative drones every day to offer you the best flying experience.
Assuming everything calibrated correctly winds aloft could result in a fly away. The Anafi can only produce so much power to over come wind. Parrot claims a top speed of 35 mph. That's probably with fully charged batteries under ideal conditions. It is very easy for winds at the surface to be 15-20 mph while winds at 300' to be much higher.
Someone recently post a UAS weather forecast showing winds at 33' were 16mph gusting to 33mph (probably lower at the surface) while winds at 250' were 27mph gusting to 58mph. If you're fighting that type of wind trying to get the drone back to you it's probably going to be a losing battle.

To my experience, lots of flyaways maybe due to strong interferences of WiFi signal (check WiFi channels with FF6 inboard diagnostic page in settings option change to 5,8 GHz when needed),
or to magnetic interferences (metallic frame concrete used as take off spot or car roof or hood, calibration process made in the car to avoid wind, calibration made with a ‘smart watch’ on your wrist that combine both WiFi and magnetic interferences, take off from a table made of wood but with a metallic frame and steel screws, fly near a bridge that always have a metallic frame embedded with lots of electric wires that carry electricity from one side to the other side of the river...).
This latter interference can be avoided by the use of a manual cheap compass in the take-off or calibration area.
Some experience in threads of this forum to support that point.
