I use a Juicebox to charge my MME but depend on the MME to “smart charge” based on my local utility rates. It seems to work, but the banner that predicts charge time and completion time seems to always be wrong. This screenshot was taken on a Wednesday night at 7:30pm meaning my car should start charging at 11pm and finish at about 4am. Anyone else notice this?

Yes the charge estimator is garbage when you have a charge window set. It is junk on both my MME and Lightning.
I don't think it can determine the actual charger kw capability when outside of the charge window and uses something silly like Level 1 when it calculates.
It seems to correct itself once charging starts.

Something changed recently with one of the random OTA's. Mine used to give me more realistic charge times (Yes it wasn't incredibly accurate) but now it just says it'll be done in 2 hours, no matter what I plug it into (L1, L2, or DC Fast charge). It could be a Fordpass problem as well, but I tried removing and re-installing on the iPhone and no luck.

I don't use charge windows, and even my estimated time always seems to be very pessimistic for some reason.

My end charge time seemed pretty accurate until after the first time I pressed the charge to 100% button.
After that it seemed like it was always predicting the time it would take to charge to 100% even though it was programmed to charge to 80%.
