Ghost departure times

[Suzanne]

My car is suddenly creating ghost departure times which interfere with my EV Optimise charging.
I have never set a charging time for departure, so I know it’s not me. Has anyone else experienced this or knows how to stop this happening?

I've had this our Macan (don't charge the Taycan at home enough, plus can only have one car on the plan with Octopus) and I think it is part of the Octopus process, though they won't confirm. Each time we plug in the Macan, it creates a departure time that is about a week ahead of the day we are on. I think that it then uses that creation, to then modify the charging process as needs.

It hasn't interfered, in recent times, with the Octopus charging, but for a while the car would have the above advanced charge plan, then Octopus would have a schedule for charging created. Charging would start, but then the Octopus app would give an error saying that charging could not be controlled. Never got that resolves with Octopus, but seems to have 'magically' healed now.
