My Charging waveform has changed. What’s up with this?

Yesterday I received a Priority Update 23-PU0105-DC-CHG2 and Ford Power Up 4.2.6 I charged last night at 48 amps (using the Chargepoint Home Flex ) and the waveform stayed solid at 11Kw through the whole charge cycle with no variations. (see original thread post for a funky charging wave form last month). Could these updates have solved my issue?

Reply: No these updates did not solve my issue, however I did take it to the dealer and they found some incorect temp sensor readings in the charge port. They replaced the chargeport and that has now corrected the variation I was cseeing in the charging waveform

So there was a temperature issue that was causing throttling to occur. In this case it wasn't the EVSE throttling things, but the car itself.

That is correct. And it was also an issue with the MachE loaner from the dealer.
