Odd behavior changing profiles with Green Charging enabled.

I am in SoCal on NEM 3.0. 10kw of panels with 20kwh of 5P batteries. This has happened to me twice, and I think it's odd.

For the most part, I leave my system in "self consumption" mode with "Green Charging" enabled for my EV. Sometimes, I or my wife drive the EV to work, and it is gone during the day and I miss out on excess solar. Twice now, I have needed to add 10-20 miles to the range for the following day. Since I don't want to charge from my batteries, I do the following. At 9pm (end of peak TOU billing) I switch the house to "full backup" because the batteries are set to NOT charge from the grid, my house consumption goes to the grid and the batteries are idle. I then manually start the EV charging. Once the EV gets the range I need, I manually STOP charging. Once confirmed that the car has stopped, I then flip the profile back to "self consumption" to use my batteries overnight.

BOTH times I have done this.... the car immediately starts charging from my batteries.

Is this a bug? Undocumented "feature"?? Or did the programmers do this intentionally? I feel like a profile change "to" self consumption should NOT start charging.

Maybe it makes sense switching TO "full backup" to top up the EV, but certainly NOT switching back to "self".

About half the time I get in the bZ the drivers seat doesn't go the the "saved" position. I know that the seat is stored paired to a key fob, but this issue happened today after the gym. I had the same fob as when I left the house.

Does anyone have any ideas? 2026 AWD Limited.
