Having issue with truck shutting down and Pro Power turning off

[Dolio]

FYI, I learned since last time when after the Ford PowerUp v4.2.2.2 update, that I think there was a change in behavior. After that update, I believe, I needed to turn on the rear bed inverters or else the power down timer would still turn off the truck. If I turn on the rear bed inverters then the truck stays running as expected.

Today I just got the Ford PowerUp v4.2.3.1 update. And the vehicle power down timer is still working as it previously was. I have not tried the old method that pre v4.2.2.2 did not require the rear bed inverters be turned on, I might give that a try tomorrow though.

BTW. I have been keeping the truck powered up all day on work days just to keep the WiFi HotSpot enabled, versus using my cellphone hot spot which has a data limit and isn't as robust in the area I am parked all day. I do not really need the inverters to be running, but they do not seem to add enough idle load to be concerned much about.

I used my rear 240v pro power yesterday and when I went to disable the power down timer it was already disabled. I noticed that the last time i used it about a month ago as well.

I have also noticed that sometimes it is already disabled, but more often than not i still need to disable it. Note that I do this every week day, because I leave the truck "running" all day while I work.
