Overnight charging doesn't work

The dealer installed the latest software update last week. Since then, my car no longer charges overnight (using the "low cost charging" feature).

The update cleared out most settings - so I went in and set low cost charging to 11pm-7am, and set a departure/preconditioning time of 7:30am. These are the same settings I've been using for the last year. Now, it doesn't charge overnight (charge level is wherever it was the day before, usually 0-3 miles).

Has anyone experienced this? It's at the dealer now having a door strut replaced. They will look at the charging problem, but I've found a little guidance from me goes a long way in getting issues resolved.

Yes, I'm going to delete the low cost charging schedule and departure time, and then re-enter the info. I think it's just a glitch, since the "charge immediately" feature works fine.
