Amps from a battery do not increase as state of charge drops.
Amperage capability of the battery does not drop.
But an inverter delivering constant watts will draw more current as voltage of battery drops.
My 2 cents - your looking at it backwards - fuses are to be 125% of whatever the max possible supplied current - Fuses only protect wires from melting or tools if you manage to drop them across the battery posts.
And I say that is 1.25x RMS current in wire.
The current from a battery looks much more like rectified 60 Hz sine wave than DC.
Power comes from Mean average amps x voltage (voltage is relatively constant, near DC.)
I say multiply by an additional 1.12x for Ripple Factor, when battery is supplying single phase inverter.
And consider cutoff voltage at inverter, which will be drooped below battery (and BMS cutoff) voltage.
