Home L2 charge keeps pausing.

[PCPilot]

I use a Tesla home charger with the TeslaTap 80w adaptor, and the charge is frequently pausing. Happens once or twice each time, depending on the amount of charge needed.
The error code on the Tesla charger indicates that vehicle overcurrent has been detected and instructs to reduce the vehicle’s charge current setting. I disconnect from the vehicle, press the reset button at the end of the Tesla cable, which clears the error on the charger, then I can plug back in and resume charging (at least for a while).

Has anyone had a similar issue when using the Tesla home charger, and know how to resolve it? Also a little concerned that this might be damaging the car or the battery. Thanks.

Sorry, all. I posted on this a few weeks ago, and can’t find a way to delete this post. It was recommended I test the wall charger and adaptor with our Model 3 (tesla charger to TeslaTap adaptor to Tesla J1772 adaptor to Model 3) and see if I can replicate the issue. I’ll do that tomorrow and post the results

No need to delete the post. It's likely helpful to others.

Let us know how it goes with the Model 3, and also if you can, confirm that the model 3 is configured to charge at 48 amps (about 11.5 kW).

Actually my son has the standard range Model 3, which is limited to 32 amps, so not sure if this would be a good test case.

I have noticed this issue. Not sure what to do.
