Predbat should be following it's normal plan.

The issue seems to be that Predbat is planning the car charging, which is what it used to do before we moved to IGO for car charging.

Might have discovered the issue, I had the following commented out in my apps.yaml
octopus_intelligent_slot: 're:(binary_sensor.octopus_energy([0-9a-z_]+|)_intelligent_dispatching)' octopus_ready_time: 're:(time.octopus_energy([0-9a-z_]+|)_intelligent_ready_time)' octopus_charge_limit: 're:(number.octopus_energy([0-9a-z_]+|)_intelligent_charge_limit)'

Will report back if this does fix it. Currently it's not planning charge so I don't know for sure if it's sorted it.

If you have moved from predbat-led charging to iGo led charging then there are a number of reconfigurations you need to make to your predbat setup so that predbat takes the car charging slots from Octopus rather than plan them itself

uncommenting this line is one of them!

please check the docs against your setup

Yes I've done all the others. It's been running fine all winter. I suspect because Predbat was planning charges during the night when IGO was. Now the sun has come out, predbat is planning more during the day so the issue has appeared.

This, plus our cars SOC isn't updating as fast (due to a number of reason, not needed for IGO) meant predbat wasn't seeing the car charged when it was.
