Correct, and it normally does stop the charge for me except this time it didn't. I disabled charge scheduling when I moved to IO and it has been reliable. Doesn't enabling schedule charging stop the random charges that octopus may decide to do on the car during peak hours? That was a perceived benefit for me as if I got a couple of half hours at the lower rate through the day every now and again it's money saved.This was the issue @Mustard K had though, IO did not stop the charge on initial plug in.
Yes it will always follow the IO schedule. I’ve had 8:30 slots before and charged just fine. Outside of IO land it will also keep charging until it hits its required SOC, but left to its own devices the car would have started earlier to ensure it hit it by your specified end time.
All IO is doing is just sending the exact same API request that you send when you hit the “start charge” button in the Tesla app, there isn’t anything fancy going on behind the scenes in that regard. It respects your target SOC, but not your schedules, which is great.
See @Skie 's explanation,seem sensible. Off peak charge means the car won't start the charge during the day, but will always listen to IO's instructions, even if those are peak hours.Correct, and it normally does stop the charge for me except this time it didn't.

Might have to go back to the FAQ and read on it again...
I have an Easee. Currently on IO. If on IO leave the Easee as a dumb charger so IO can pull whenever it wants.Joined Octopus Go yesterday (standard variable tariff until the switch is complete). Torn between Go & Intelligent. Does anyone have any experience of using Intelligent will an Easee One home charger?
Find Go much easier to get my head around but the extra hours on Intelligent is tempting
Wire the car charger on the grid side bus in the gateway2. Car can charge from the grid with IO at the same time as the house running on the powerwall, both not connected together. Unless you want solar to charge the car.I have a 100 mile commute and use the whole 5 hours of Go Faster in the winter months. Still not jumping to Intelligent just yet, though, because it seems very much in Beta and quite a few kinks to iron out at the moment.
I’m following developments with interest, though, and if they ever bring Powerwall integration to Inyelligent Octopus then I may make the switch.
That’s interesting but yes, I do prefer to be able to charge the car from solar or from the solar-filled powerwalls in the summer…Wire the car charger on the grid side bus in the gateway2.

Are you on Android perchance?I like IO - Snap shot from my bill for a day in Sept

This does my nut in. I cannot fathom how Android users get these amazing schedules right through the day. You would think it's entirely server driven, but there's a definite difference between Android and iOS in this regard.I am
Yep that's all I haveAlso are you using a low powered charger?

I was going to say correlation does not equal causation, but realised I was wrong.Yep that's all I have
Octopus said it expected to pay an average of 4 pounds ($4.46) for every unit saved during the specific timeframes from November to March 2023, which could allow customers to save around 100 pounds over the course of the winter.
I do shop at Tesco's at least. (Free charging there still)I was going to say correlation does not equal causation, but realised I was wrong.
Android user won’t pay for an iPhone or a wall charger. Cheap electric most of the day is their reward
No offence intended @davidmc
