"Continuous load" means you size the circuit to 125% of total load

so 18.25a is OK on a 12 ga wire with a 20a breaker

You're going over the 80% trade standard load (16amps on a 20amp
circuit) at that point,

Excuse me but the load is 14.6a. The 18.25a IS 125% of the load so the
80% has been accounted for.
