So, had my software update at Porsche yesterday. As usual plug my car in and top up on cheap charge from 1230-0430 and been doing this for 3 months with a profile. No issues in 3 months.
Woke up this morning and car not charged. Luckily I was local so manged to get by on 30% battery.
Checked my settings and all look ok, and nothing has changed from memory.
Got back tonight and plugged in and as below 30% it’s charged ok upto 30% and now on pause as it should be.
Am I missing something or has something changed in my settings after my update?

Hi, didn’t post a pic but it was ticked. All other unticked.

The timers are all unticked but I don’t use these.

not ticked in this photo! And why do you have two timers for the same date and time? Do you have a HEM installed ?

Don’t use the timers at all. Not sure why 2, possibly when first had it tried to set them up, but as say don’t use them. I meant the profile was ticked for my cheap charge profile. Not having a timer ticked shouldn’t make any difference should it? It wasn’t ticked before and worked fine?

You need a timer and a profile to have a daily timer with time range and max charge e g. To 85%

I don’t use a timer and haven’t for 5 months. I just plug the car in when I get home some nights not others, it goes on pause, then charges for 4 hours and stops. Just looked electric meter and hasn’t charged over night again. Annoying now.

are you saying a profile alone won’t work as I’m sure this is how it’s been set for 5 months?

Could You show what is behind the “pen” option? What have you set there. I see you have ticked the box but what did you set it for.
If there is nothing there, my view is the car will do nothing more than charge to 30%.

Profile doesn't let you control the maximum you want to charge to and a combination is generally required.

Seems to me you have set up this very logically! I have no idea why this does not charge your car correctly.

wild guess would be to just untick and retipick all the boxes and perhaps set minimum charge to a different value. Just to restart everything?

Sorry but not much help from me.

Hi- yes, aware and I’ve never set one. Not had the need. I’m sure nothing is different but failed to charge 2 nights now following my software update and can’t understand why!

Appreciate the input. I can’t see anything’s changed, but post the update now won’t work. I think I willl do as you say, Untick and maybe do a trial run setting the timer to a time I’m about and seeing what happens.
