I've made a few YTP's in the past but stopped mostly because of how tedious the whole process is, the videos tend to get copyright claimed, and also I decided to focus less on low brow humor. But after watching Dark Phoenix last week I realized that it's prime YTP source material and no one had really made a YTP of it. So I decided to take another shot at it. It ended up being one of my most time consuming edits to date (and among my most lowest brow). It is a bit on the longer side, but I tried to make it packed with a lot of the usual YTP antics as well as my own. For example, I did the overdubbing for Hank and filmed myself in front of green screen for the clapboard effect during the fight scene when Charles yells "cut" (I know he says kurt but it sounded like he said cut lol). There's even a few YTPMV moments in there. I know no one asked so I'll stop rambling and just say I hope you enjoy it ❤

This issue started a day or 2 after my solar installer asked me to turn on service mode. Even after turning off service mode, I was unable to change my powerwall settings, which was suddenly stuck on Time of Use and was importing about 1KW from the grid each day, when it was only importing about .1kw before.

I spent over an hour on the phone with Tesla (couldn't get a hold of my installer) and even power cycled my entire system with no success. They tried a bunch of things on their end, but powerwall settings kept reverting to Time of Use and Grid Charging to On.

I regret not trying this solution first. It came up in a google search (ai overview) as a potential solution after I opened it and explained in more detail what was happening.

Here are the full steps:

Go to Settings > Powerwall and open “Time of Use” from there.

(If you're not familiar with your current schedule, take a screenshot so you can refer to it later if needed.)

Select Change Schedule, then More Options: Custom.

For the buy & sell values, it shouldn't matter what you put because this fix (from what I understand) is more to do with setting a custom schedule, not setting particular values. However, if you're like me and want some peace of mind while the custom schedule is applied (even if only for a minute) you can do this:

For the buy price, enter 100 (it shows as $1.00), and for sell leave it at 0. It just means that the battery won't import or export (excess solar will still export if you normally export that, and battery can still import if it needs to, like if the battery is at zero). Setting the buy high like that tells the battery that importing energy from the grid is too expensive, and setting the sell at zero means it's too cheap to export, so it won't do either of those things. It does not actually try to buy or sell at those prices.

After you set those, select Next and you should see the schedule show up as Custom and now your other settings (self-powered mode, grid charge, etc) should be unstuck and you can now change them and they should save!

After that, you can go back to Settings and select Time of Use from there, change the schedule again, and switch it back to your actual utility plan. If you're unsure of what plan to select, refer to the screenshot you took earlier to help.

Of course, you may already know that if you’re running in Self-Powered mode then the Time of Use plan isn’t actively controlling anything. I just think it's wise to have that set up correctly in case there's any pitfalls with having the a weird/hacky config in the background.

Hopefully this helps anyone who was stuck with this annoying issue!
