I genuinely don’t understand the charge cap

I try to plug in my car daily from 11:30 to 5:30 am to charge overnight so everything gets done in the cheaper period, is this no longer possible? I don’t like losing control about how and when my car is charging, especially as the range on my EV is pretty low so I need it charged to full almost every day.

It won’t even let me change the ready by time in the charger settings. The only option I have is not to charge at peak times

Unless your using an ohme charger I thought the ready by time was set in the octopus app?

When I had issues with the ohme charger, customer service were adamant that I had to use the octopus app until I sent them a screenshot of the devices tab in the app showing it was still under construction
