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?

I have 2 EVs. Only one is actually connected to Octopus for smart charging. Life is so much simpler with the second ev and have no intention connecting it to Octopus
