Hello,

I am on Intelligent Go with my Audi Q4 linked to Octopus and frequently get a "We were unable to control your charge" message when charging.

Tonight, I plugged my car in, and it got a schedule (23:30-04:00), but I have just checked at 20:01, and the car was charging.

When I look, I can't see anything that indicates Octopus started the charging - the schedule in the app is unchanged. This seems to be the case every time I do charge when it starts the charging in the evening.

Is this normal behaviour? Can anyone else see the fact that their car is charging now anywhere in the Octopus App?

(I can see in Home Assistant that the rate dropped to my cheap rate from 19:00-19:30, but my car charged 19:00 until I stopped it at 20:01.)

(I know the app won't display the correct price for 48 hours or so, but I'd like to know that Octopus have started the charging)
