The day this happened, I had the same issues at EA locations, and non-EA locations. All stations would max out at 34kw.Usually when EA is having a problem that limits the charging power to the MME (we often suspect the cable cooling might be having a problem, thus the charger kicks down the power), we see the MME charging around 41-43 kW. There's been many reports of that. I've experienced it twice myself.
Sounds like 50 kW may be the failsafe level when EA detects an issue with the charger(s). The way Kyle described it, it's really an amperage limit (125A @ 400v). But since the MME battery packs are really around 350v instead, 350v x 125A = ~43 kW. Thus it peaks around 43 on a 50 kW charger.
However 34 kW in your example sounds like something potentially different (maybe the car limiting it?).
