So idle fees are figured based on the fullness of the SC.

Is that when I start to charge or when the charge is finished?

Let's say I pull up to SC with 8 stalls. Only 1 other Tesla there. I've got 45 min until done so I go eat. Dinner takes a bit longer and I don't get back until 60 min has elapsed. When I get back to the SC, 5 of the stalls are full. Did I just get charged for 15min idle and not know it?

What about the reverse? While eating, I'm freaking out about being late as I'm getting close to full on the app and the SC was 5/8 full when I plugged in. I ask for check early and run out leaving cash on the table only to get to the SC and find out everyone else has done and left. I rushed out and panicked for nothing.

Guess what I really want to know is will I know for sure via the app when I'm going to get charged an idle fee so I can know how urgently to get going if I'm not physically waiting in the car.

It would be nice if while SC'ing the app displayed the current occupied/available stalls. Or is there some other way it lets you know?
