Yup, I get that.
It seems a common problem.
I have determined that mine does it in the following conditions:
Laden ie heavy
Dependent on the speed that you set the Cruise relevant to the degree of uphill ie if its very steep and you want to cruise at 120 it will kick down.
This is understandable as it would kick down even if you weren't on cruise.
After a while of it now trying to maintain the set speed in the kicked down gear, it then kicks out the Cruise as it cant maintain that speed.
