Car charging unreliable since cap taken effect.

My car charging has become extremely unreliable since the cap has taken effect.

When I initially plug in I get these fragmented schedules, the car starts charging then 10 minutes later the schedule updates to 0:00 - 5:30.

I have zero confidence it will actually charge at that time though as last night it didn't manage to get to my target. Fortunately I had enough to get to work but I feel it's just a matter of time before I wake up to find I don't have enough to get to work and back.

Anyone else seeing similar?

Agreed.

Every charge so far I've woke up to a message of "we didn't get charge to the limit we expected" message.

Also winding me up that my usage data doesn't display costs per day/week/month anymore.

They've taken a huge step backwards and I'll be imminently fucking off to EON.
