Have you submitted a service request?
I have not. It's not been bothersome enough yet for that. I will wait to see if this latest version makes any difference and if it doesn't then I will submit one.

No change with the new 2020.24.6.1 update. It still dropped to 17A after about half an hour. I will update Tesla with the info.
apologies I don’t have teslafi etc. I’ve noticed when the drop down to 17 A happens, if I stop charging and re start from the Tesla app, the A constantly fluctuates from 0 to 17A. Only a cable disconnect and re connect fixes the issue and charging continues at 32A
Yes, I noticed the 0A to 17A cycling last night on my fifth charge since the update. After a few minutes of this constant current cycling it the just carried on charging at 32A. They’ve really done a good job with this one!

The other question is why isn't everyone seeing this? I am on 2020.20.12. I charge at home on a 32amp Rolec and I don't have this issue (yet). I have another bug on svheduled charge start only that I won't confuse the issue by going into here but not this. I can charge consistently at 32amps.

My first charge on 2020.24.6.1 was a yo-yo for the first half hour. It went 30A to 17A so I reduced the charge to 10A then back to 30A screen using the screen. 5 mins later it was back to 17A again. I checked the app half hour later and it showed the charge rate at 0kw then while I was looking at it increased to 4kw then up to 7kw. It then stayed at 7kw for the rest of the charge without a problem (about 2.5 hours). I updated Tesla with all the info and will try another charge early next week.
OK, I'll join the party! I previously didn't think I had this issue. I was only doing short charges and the issue (for me) only seems to kick in after adding more than 11 or 12 kWh. The charge then dropped from 32 amps to 17 amps despite the app reporting that the charger was still offering the car 32 amps. I woke up in the early hours and because I knew I was doing a longer charge took a look at the app. I saw that the rate had dropped so stopped the charge (just with the Tesla app) for a few moments before restarting. The charge did come back up to 32 amps but interestingly during that second phase the rate was struggling to hold 32 amps and was going up and down. The graph of the charge from the Zappi app is below:
No, it was a normal 3 hour charge. See attached chart below. Hopefully it will continue like this.

Just topping up now before a trip to see my dad. Started slowly as expected, rose to 32 amps and then wound back to 17 amps. Stopped the charge, restarted and currently holding at 32 amp.
I'll use quite a lot of charge today and then need a decent top up before mountain biking tomorrow. Could be interesting! Looks like a 4am alarm to ensure I've got enough. PITA!

Just curious, has any one de-rated their charge to say 16A in car and also seen a further drop?
