Can I prevent charging after it reaches my %limit but leave the charger connected?

[nezuko]

I charge at 10 PM when the rates are low, and I normally get done with the 85% early morning. However, since the charger is still connected, the car periodically charges to compensate for the battery drain. Is this something I should be concerned about? Is this normal and won't be bad for the battery?

Thank you.

I believe the answer to the question asked in the thread title is "no, you can not stop the car from doing that. If its plugged in, it will charge when it thinks it needs to".

I would also check your teslafi logs to ensure that your car shows as sleeping. I dont use teslafi, but thought I saw screenshots from others that show it says when the car is asleep.

Since this question was answered, but follow on questions will end up being about range, etc, I will lock this one and direct you to that one for any range questions.
