So in Power Complex: Wild Path of Tier 1 Onyx Falcon gate, there was a spike trap first thing in the level. But the spikes were up and never went down. I waited for a good minute and the spikes stayed up the whole time. I eventually just ran through the spikes to continue.
Here's the spot it happened:
There's actually a switch near the elevator, hidden under a block.
At least, there has been every time I've run into that type of starting area.
