Arrived at the lake today and plugged in to L1 at the house. Went to lock the truck via the button on the door handle, and nothing. Tried all 4 doors with the same result. Ended up locking with the Ford app. I didn’t try using the keypad.

Just seems odd. When I unplug tomorrow, I’ll make sure they work again.

Works as (in)consistently for me when charging or not in my '22 Lariat. I do find it helps to long press it longer than I think I should by a factor of 3. But even that does not always work.

The only time I have an issue with the button on the door handle is if the truck is on (normally to keep the AC running). Then it is quite unreliable. If the truck is off, it always works for me - including when charging.

Did you try opening the door and hitting the lock button?
