Flush let go of handle canister drops to soon only takes half of the tank water
SOURCE: The flush valve does stay open long enough after flushing
Which style of flush valve do you have? If it is the dual-flush option (solids/liquids) I do not know how to adjust those. If you have a traditional style, then the flapper or ball is closing too soon. You need to adjust the guide arm (flush ball) higher or shorten the chain between the flapper and the handle. Adjust this carefully or you will have it fail to seat and the toilet will constantly run.
I hope this helps.

SOURCE: Toilet isn't siphoning fast enough. The water
take the uper cover fo the toilet. check for the chain, that chain goes to the balon with air that usualy goes up when water is filling in and stop the water.
so, check for that chain to be long enough (it can be regulated ussually). the problem relies that id the chain is too short the reservoir or tank of water cannot fill up to a 100% to siphoning fast enough.

Loosen the nut that holds it in. The nut is inside the tank and is left hand threads. Or it may need a new one if any of the plastic is broken or cracked.

most modern flappers(what you call a canister float if i understand you correctly) have some type of adjustment feature which controls this.(like maybe rotating the flapper one way or the other) the old fashioned way was to take up the slack in the chain attached to the flapper so that when someone pushes the handle the flapper is pulled higher. make & model # or a pic would help me say w/certainty how yours works. just text me here if you need anything else and good luck:)
