W214 E53 Hybrid Charging Pauses gremlin
There are no factory configured Charging Pauses set up in the W214 E53 Hybrid. Since taking delivery of the car in February, I created one Charging Pause between 2:00pm and 8:00pm since this is the peak electric rate period for my residential electric service (on weekdays). Twice in the last month, the single Charging Pause has changed to 12:00am to 12:00am, which effectively disables AC charging. It's not clear to me what is making this change occur. Changing the Charging Pauses requires several manual steps and I don't think this could happen inadvertently by fat fingering the central screen or phone app. Is anyone else experiencing this phantom Charging Pause behavior?
I usually plug the car in during the peak rate period, so it's not unusual for charging to not start immediately. It's not until the next morning that I realize the Charging Pause has been changed to a full 24 hours.
