Preferred Charging Time - I did something stupid

[Kachook]

Background: we have free charging 11p - 5a and I normally charge the car to 90% on schedule during those times. Two weekends ago, we were going to be driving more miles than normal over the weekend (over 200) and I decided to charge the MME to 100% and started charging earlier manually by hitting the charge button as opposed to the scheduled time. My wife had driven it all week w/o charging and she was a few ticks below 20%. Well, there were no issues. On the following Tuesday, I noticed that when I plugged in the charger for her around 9p, it started blinking green (Grizzl-E dumb charger). So, I check the app and it says charging. I didn't really mind since it was only two hours before our free time. Lo and behold, it charged to 100% - the max charge should have been the previously set limit of 90%. Forgot about the problem again for about five days and then I think when I am next about to charge her car that we need to figure this out. So, I plug it in at 9:00 p.m. and it starts charging immediately. I stop it on the app. I assume that it will automatically start at 11:00 p.m. and it did not charge that night. So, I check on both the app and car and the preferred times are from 11p - 5a. There is no departure time set either. Again today, same thing. I plug it in when I park my car. It starts charging at 8:50 p.m. I have already once deleted the preferred charging times and saved again for both weekdays and weekends.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Up until I manually started the charger about two weeks ago, everything was trouble-free for the last four plus years charging. TIA.

In the vehicle, delete the location. Charge for a minute, and set it up again.

Charging to 100% by hitting the Start Charging button, shouldn't mess up anything. I don't understand you changing the charge amount to 90%. Start now goes to 100% automatically.

Thanks, Rick. I meant that when I manually charged, it went to 100%. I checked the charge limit after it charged to 100% the second time (unintentionally) and it was still set at 90%. Edited original post to reflect.

It sounds like your car doesn’t think it’s at your location.

I'm going to delete location and times. Re-do that and see what happens. Thank you!

In the vehicle, NOT in the app.

This sounds remarkably similar to what happened to me a few weeks ago. I spent over a week troubleshooting until someone asked me if my car's clock was set correctly. I have never changed the clock in my car, ever, so I thought this was silly. Went to check and found my time was 12 hours out, it was reading AM when it should have been PM. My only thought is that an OTA update must have messed with the clock. (?) Since re-setting the car's clock all has returned to normal.

Edit: OK, I lied. I do have to manually update the car's clock when the time changes from Standard Time to Daylight Savings Time, and back again, but that's just a single number button push. Anyway, my charging issue began nowhere near a time change update.

Check your clock in the MME. I had an update a week or so ago that clobbered the time.
