Firmware version 5.8.4 introduced a new feature where the car will automatically back off the charge current by about 25% if it detects a problem with the circuit (exact criteria for current reduction are unknown at this time). This is presumably a reactionary addition in response to the recent garage fire incident.
Some people have reported occurrences of the car reducing charge current when it shouldn't be doing so. In other words, getting a false positive on the condition of the charging circuit. Effectively, this would unnecessarily reduce charging capacity to ~75% of previous levels.
Can people who have experienced this please report below so we can get an idea of how widespread the problem is? Please provide details about your charging situation (typical normal rate, reduced rate, type of charger (UMC, HPWC, etc)) so we can see it there is a commonality to any false positive readings.
P.S. Could a mod please correct the spelling on my poll title? Thanks.
