Charge not starting at specified time. Has anyone had this happen and know how to fix it?

Hello,
I have my 23 XLT with the Ford pro charger set to charge starting at midnight. It has always started at midnight and finishes at 90% a few hours later depending on how low it was. I haven’t changed anything as far as settings. Then two nights ago, when I was walking by the truck about 9am I heard the charger click off, which I thought was strange, and for some reason it had not started charging until 6am. I figured it was just a fluke, but when I woke up this morning at 7am, I checked and it was still “waiting to charge” but it had been plugged in since 9pm, and never started charging. I pressed the start button on the app and it’s charging now.
Has anyone had this happen and know how to fix it? Any advice will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Could have been an update or location change. Reset your location and enter the times in the truck also.

I had to delete the time settings and re-enter them in the app and this worked.

Yes, I had that happen when an OTA update overlapped with the charge time, except in my case, the charging never happened.

I changed the update time to allow my truck to charge from 1:00am to 6:00am when off-peak rates apply, and the OTAs to start a good while after that.

If you need to you could also just turn off the auto-update and then turn it back on when the charging is finished, if that is what happened.

Sometimes after an OTA, things go back to "default" settings which is a pain, but oh well.

Is the time in your truck correct? This happened to me once when the time somehow got changed. It said 1:something am when it was around 6pm. When I plugged it in it started charging. I have it set to charge from 9pm to 7am. I would think the FCSP would control when it charges but this left me to believe it’s the truck that dictates. When I corrected the truck time it waited until 9:00 to start.

Yes, the truck is 'THE' controller with respect to the FCSP, other EVSE's with integrated time controls might be available but it's still the truck and how you define the SOC & time constraints that also matters.

One thing I had to do to make sure my 2024 Flash charged when I wanted it to is set a departure time.

Thanks for the replies and suggestions! The truck seems to have self healed and has started charging at midnight again the past couple nights.
