I agree with @SwissTaycan. There are different options for different scenarios. What @evanevery lays out is a simple way to set it and forget it. If you need to use a timer profile to target a specific "must be charged by a certain time" objective, then a timer profile makes sense and is just as simple. I set up a Timer profile to be applied every day for 85% SOC by 4:30 am (I was going to the gym most mornings at 4:45 am). Like @evanevery I plug in every time I pull my car into the garage. Most times the PMCC will flash blue indicating that it is on pause until later in the evening to meet the be ready by 4:30 am at 85% target. If I am going on a road trip, I will turn on the direct charging option on the PCM to override the Timer profile to charge to 100%.
Fyi, there is a lot of discussion on other threads about messing with the profiles and settings with the Connect app and the dead 12v battery issue. Knock on wood, but I have changed settings, set profiles (in fact my current Timer profile was set remotely when I was 1000 miles away), changed the Climate setting, turned off Direct Charging when the car was recently at the dealership and they charged to 100% by enabling Direct Charging, etc. by using the Connect app without any issues with my 12v battery. I have had my car since April.
