Charging was working great last weekend (11 PM-7 AM, 7 AM departure), but last night, nothing. Car was at 45%, schedule was good. Only thing I did was turn off pre-conditioning.
 
I've been super lucky no problems with my charging setup at all, except for this one weird thing that happened a couple of weeks back. I have my car and my ChargePoint Home Flex EVSE both programmed to start charging at 1:10 AM and stop at 7:00 AM, and usually it works like a charm. I'm running the November 2024 software version. I'm curious, have you ever had any glitches with your scheduled charging? And do you use the same start/stop times, or something different?

AFAIK, Your departure time needs to be set before the charging period is over.

Did you check if the charging schedule was still active in your car’s settings, or could something have interfered with the connection while pre-conditioning was off?

It might be a good idea to see if any software updates went down overnight that could’ve messed with the schedule. Also, maybe give both the car and the app schedule a quick once-over to make sure there’s no overlap. And if your Wi-Fi’s acting up at night, that could totally mess with syncing too. Just some other things to check!
 
Apart from a little hiccup a couple of weeks ago, it's been running great. I've got my charging times set for 11 PM to 5 AM. That's also what's programmed into my ChargePoint Home Flex EVSE, and everything's been working like a charm.
