1+4 WAS NOT held at constant thrust due to them being in Degraded Mode (illogical).
According to one of the pilots of the flight;

With Engine 1 and 4 being in degraded mode it was discussed whether or not to really use those actively and the decision was made to leave them in a particular power setting and control the aircraft’s speed with Engine 3 only – the one engine that was in a normal mode.
