I'm still anxiously waiting for December 11...I'll find out soon enough. I did get 6.3 this morning!

I got 6.3.0 yesterday.

So a couple weeks ago I emailed Jim Farley at corp hq. Last week got a call from a representative of the offices. She spoke with the team concerned with this issue, and they told her

I got 6.3.0 yesterday.

Did it solve the issue?!

nope, Frank is supposed to be getting the right OTA to fix it some time around the 11th, so we're all just waiting to hear.

I’m hopeful but not holding my breath….

Hopefully we get an answer to this!

I actually got a call from the Jim Farley's office last week. The lady had spoken to the EV team working on this issue. They said January. So who knows what or when this will be resolved.

Yesterday evening, I had the same problem with my mme 22. I started a charging session at a public charger L2, did not notice any problem and went away. When I came back, I noticed that the car was not charged, session was paused. Luckely I had enough juice to drive home. My sw powerup version is 6.3.0 (in Europe, I do not now if the numbering is exactly the same). First time I had this problem. No charge time settings.

Note: at arrival at home, my car was charged as usual.

I see simular threads with charging problems, so probably a sw problem

Yes I think it's a software issue, the lead tech at the dealership I go to said the same thing after they had it for a week.

I have an email in to my FSA who is out of the office this week.
I got 6.13 last night, but have not yet tested the charging concerns. I highly doubt it is the fix though based on the release notes.

Thanks for the update. I really hope we hear something soon. From what I’ve seen in other threads 6.13 does not have to do with charging. I just got 6.3 last week so I’m a bit away from 6.13.

Two separate sources at Ford have told me January so that's my target. I got 6.13 today as well.

I'm experiencing the same issue with my 2023 RWD Premium (July 2023 build). I've only had the car a few weeks so I didn't even realize this wasn't supposed to be happening. Glad to hear a fix might be coming soon.

So far I think the ones with the issue are 23s.

Just got 6.13. Got 6.3 last week, but none of the updates between 6.3 and 6.13. I have a 2023.5 with Bluecruise 1.3, so maybe I didn't need those updates, or the updates are not coming in order. It is installing now. I will test the charging later tonight.

All, I noticed strange AC charging behavior just in the last week with my MME Premium '23 (received May 2022). There are two strange behaviors:
1. The car is charging for much longer than it used to before getting to the target 80% charge -- for example, the FordPass app is reporting that it has consumed ridiculous amounts of electricity (for example 70 kWh consumed while charging from 57% to 76%). I am assuming this is a calculation problem and that the car is not actually pulling that much electricity (but can't know for sure as I have a dumb EVSE).
2. Sometimes during these extended charging sessions, the FordPass app is reporting that the car is only pulling half the kW that I would expect -- almost as if it is failing over from 240 volt charging to only 120 volt. Annoyingly, with the Ford being the only EV we own that doesn't show the kW rate of charge anywhere in the car (also have a Tesla and a Kia, both of which show the instantaneous charge kW) -- so this is also difficult to verify.

I am also suspecting this is a new software issue introduced with one of the recent OTA updates since it appeared suddenly -- Is anyone else seeing these issues?

Thanks for any advice!
