Preferred charge time ends an hour early

[sukhoi_584th]

I have the preferred charge time at my house set to midnight-3 PM. The only control is through the car settings; the EVSE is set to 24/7. Yesterday I plugged in about noon, it started charging, and then at exactly 2 PM it stopped charging prior to reaching the SOC setpoint. The car clock is correct. Has anyone else noticed this? My driving & charging patterns changed recently so I have no idea how long it's been like this as I used to always plug in in the evenings so it'd start charging at midnight. I haven't been paying close attention to the OTAs but I do have the revised button graphics.

I wonder if there is some time zone mix up. Perhaps your charging location is mismatched by the car to your actual time zone?

DST

It's the opposite of DST though. If the car didn't spring forward properly then it should be stopping an hour late at real time 4 PM. Besides, where are there DST settings to change? I see no time settings in FordPass.

@Mrn could be time zone, but the car has been solidly in PST/PDT for months. I actually don't think it's ever left Pacific time since it was delivered, though it's gotten close to Nevada.

I guess that would mean it starts charging a 11 PM?

do you have your car clock set to "auto". Tho I don't see that that would make a difference here.

So today it properly stopped at 3 PM...who knows what is up with this time keeping. Nothing has changed between Saturday and today.

And today it stopped at 2 PM. So, not fixed, and not consistent.

Well I figured it out when editing some saved charging locations on the car screen (vs the app). At my house the weekday setting was 3 PM but the weekend setting was 2 PM. In my defense the godawful UX for the app doesn't exactly make this easy to figure out.
