What does the most recent OTA update do - "..optimize operation and vehicle charging"

What exactly does the most recent OTA software update do? The APP states "..optimize operation and vehicle charging system".
Does the charging profile as a function of battery charge level change? Operations?

Mercedes isn't very transparent with this apparently. Wish we can find a detailed changelog.

As Nate Bargatze says in his SNL skit "George Washington", nobody knows.

I don’t own an EQS yet. How often are these updates coming? I know Stuttgart is stingy with the updates on ICE cars.

In a couple of months we have only had one update like that.

I received the same OTS notification about 10 days ago. It never installed via OTA, so I dropped it off at my MB dealership a couple days ago. The car spent a day and they claimed they "installed/updated" the MBUX software with this notification but it doesn't register in my ME app. I am unsure what updates were actually made to the software, but now my current MBUX version is E330.607 (I do not recall the previous version). When I asked the SA about the fact that my car is ready for pickup but the ME ap remains same, that the software update has not been installed, I was told it was updated but the backend server will/may take some time to sync with ME, and to wait a few days for that sync to occur.

Guess we shall see if what they told me is all BS or real... if no change to ME ap after another week, I am going back to demand more specifics on this OTA update from MB tech, and won't leave until I am satisfied the explanation makes sense.

Perhaps it's because you're looking in the "Over the Air Updates" part of your app, but the update was not installed over the air, but rather, via "over the wire" via the dealer connected to the OBD2 port.
