Yea, you're right. I rethought that and was going to edit my post. Either limit will cause this.Well they both are limited actually. So once the car or adapter hits a current max, you see power increase with SoC increase since voltage is rising with SoC. People in non-Teslas see this at DCFCs.
See this Leaf chart:
My borrowed adapter is from an early Model S and worked. My next tests are to find out if it costs too much to do too little.
FWIW-I never got charged for my session at an EA CHAdeMO even though I put in my credit card.

See this Leaf chart:
In Europe, AFAIK, Model 3 in Europe has a different inlet than US models as well. US Model S, X and 3 have Tesla's proprietary North American inlet.
In the US, the flavor of CCS we have is Combo1 aka SAE Combo (upper portion is J1772). In Europe, CCS there is Combo2 (upper portion is Mennekes Type 2 since they don't use J1772 there). See EV DC Fast Charging standards – CHAdeMO, CCS, SAE Combo, Tesla Supercharger, etc under "DC Fast charging standards – CHAdeMO, CCS, Supercharger, China" for a visual aid.
My adapter is very early. I bought it the first day Tesla offered it for Model S, although I don’t remember exactly when that was. I decided to keep it after switching to my P3D assuming that they’d enable CHAdeMO when Japan sales began. After ten months here it is. Mine works perfectly. It was updated once in 2016 IIRC.
The adaptor will be updated by a briefcase-sized device, assuming it continues to be the same one as was used for my last update in 2016. It could easily be done with a mobile service vehicle or in a service center. I'm guessing that not all service centers have one. The correct procedure is to schedule service stating you wish to have upped for you CHAdeMO adapter and give the serial number. Not all of them will necessarily need an update. When you do get an update it typically will take less than ten minutes to complete the update, based on past practice. Of course the past might not be a good guide...
It makes sense if you have places you prefer or need to go that already have Chademo but not sufficient Tesla SuperCharger. For instance, in Watsonville, the Chademo might be cheaper than the Tesla SuperCharger, and is definitely in a much safer parking lot with more places you can safely shop, and the SuperCharger is only an urban speed one, so takes almost as long as the Chademo. In other places, only Chademo is available on your preferred route, like in Salinas if you don't want to go to the North end of 101, and you can stay to the SouthWest for a bit, also a Nob Hill.
Try both.
Bingo! That is exactly correct, and is consistent with everything I knew back when I had my CHAdeMO adapter.
FINALLY! JULY 15, 2019! What a wait! (Typical Tesla.)
Thanks for that idea. One more of a million settings combinations you need to try when retrying CHAdeMO connections & sessions.
Anything that works would be the best way to do it. Sometimes that's dictated by how you chose or choose to park. CHAdeMO allows you to park pulling in or backing in, and often you have a choice of up to 6 parking spots that can reach it depending on the direction you park. Sometimes you would need to park in a certain angle or put the plug under or over the car for a distance. (That's dictated by cord length, obviously, as well as politeness in picking spots.)
