Why is Charge Anytime not updating compared to renault app

Currently having issues with Charge Anytime not updating Charge % and range.  It is picking up if car is away from home or if it is not plugged in.  Seems like some of the Renault metadata is being read and some not.  Anyone else seeing this?   First noticed on Wednesday Iast week and reported it by email on Thursday.  Was briefly working on Thursday but now stuck at 100% and 16 miles since Friday.  Anyone else seen anything similar?

“There was an issue between Enode and Renault that has since been resolved which may have been the cause of your problem.”

It’s dead again. I have plugged the charger since last night 22:00, but the OVO charge anytime is still shown with “unplugged” and nothing happen until 17:00 the next day.

 

Also, I was surprised by the WED and THUR charging schedule that the “SMART” charge only start at 03:00 and only last for two hours. Since I can’t install the 7KW charger at my drive way, I can only use the granny charger. Thanks god, the two hours had topped up just a little bit juice that is far from sufficient for my daily use. A little bit disappointed about that. Already thinking to shift to OCTOPUS to find a better offer.

Hi there, it seems there's an issue with the Renault server. The situation is rather odd—I'm experiencing wildly fluctuating battery percentages and range readings on both the "My Renault" and "OVO Charge Anytime" apps. When I tried to start the charging process by plugging in the charger, both apps displayed that I had 70% battery and 61 miles of range. However, the dashboard in my car actually showed that I had 70% battery with a range of 140 miles (that is the actual real figure) before plugging in the charger. Additionally, the "Charge Anytime" app never indicates that I am charging; instead, it constantly shows "CAR UNPLUGGED" on my screen. At this point, I've given up on using "Charge Anytime" altogether.
