There was a hunch (I think via Facebook, you read so much in various places things can end up going full circle), that keeping your app open prevents the car from sleeping and the 50% pause is reduced. I imagine anything to keep the car awake might do the same if Tesla are now more aggressively sending the cars to sleep. Worth a try if you're having the issue.
As for 2022.36.6, is it my imagination or does the image of the car on the screen now turn as you turn? Maybe it just turns more than it did, but I'm now seeing the side of the car quite clearly when turning, and I'd have thought I would have noticed that before. Or should I have gone to specsavers?
