I had this exact situation in January. Ford Pass would not connect and declined payment. I had to use the EA app to receive a charge.
A few days later, I called the number on Ford Pass. (It took three transfers to get to the right department!) They checked my settings in the car and on the...
Exact same issue. I've been trying a variety of ways to force it, but no luck. (My 12v is at 14.4) Others have stated the 6.6 update has not uploaded like other updates.
Buyback plans have changed over the last few years and (in Texas) are not as advantageous to homeowners. My excess energy has a buyback rate of 9.15 cents/kWh BUT my charge for energy imported from the grid is 13.3 cents/kWh. This is why I charge on days with maximum sunlight.
This is how I charge... during the day with solar array and reduced fees from the electric provider. I setup my charging schedule from the screen in the MME. (I have checked it from time to time in Ford Pass, but the app is not reliable enough. For example, setting pre-conditioning times may or...

I've been waiting for the day I do this. I started saying out loud... "unfasten seat belt, turn off car"...just to be sure. Now that I'm getting accustomed to an EV, I think I've got it under control. 😁
