Hello, I'm not sure if this is a bug, or if I'm just mistaking why / how the plan generated a plan slot to charge when it did.
I noticed this morning the plan charged the battery during a slot where the import price was 24.72p, a couple of slots later the price drops to 20.95 (and the battery later charges again during these slightly cheaper slots). I think this happened shortly after an alert came through for an Axle event - which would make sense it wants to top up the charge ahead of the event the next day, but it's then planning to export later today at only 19p. I kind of accept the 20.95 charge slots, but I don't really understand why it would suddenly charge for half an hour at 24p. The battery SOC level at this time was around 45%, so not close to running out.
Expected behaviour
It would just not export tonight in favour of the bigger slot tomorrow, or at the very least charge at the lowest slot out of the 6 or so available, not the higher slot.
