Recently I have been getting a charge error message in the app while charging. The truck keeps charging so I think it’s in error. Not sure but I think it started happening after the app update. Anyone else experiencing this?

I haven't been able to get the remote climate to work via the app since the update on my Pixel, nor did it save the 90% charge limit at home.

Rather annoying.

Some insurers do utilize data from mobile phone apps or features, so it's important to understand your insurer's practices and read the data and privacy agreements for apps you load onto your phone.
And that's why I keep an old Samsung Galaxy S9 in the kitchen drawer. When T- Mobile, Kasa smart plugs, Alexa, whatever, requires an app to do something, it gets installed on the sim-less (Wi-Fi only) S9.

Same here, but mine is NOT charging when the error message happens. I have an Emporia 48A charger at home. I called Ford this morning and they say this is not happening to others that they know of. Also, they said that I should remove the Preffered Charging times and Departure times. I had already done that from reading things online and Copilot said this, but it doesn't make a difference. I even deleted Ford App and reinstalled, reconnected my truck and created a new Key. Same problem. Some times 45 minutes, but lately it's within 15 minutes that it stops charging with the error.

What I'd like to see in the APP is a log maintained of the descriptions of the various software updates I've gotten OTA, and when....
