Gen3 user's check your charge and discharge rates on the portal!

I've noticed both my gen3 inverters have now a maximum of 2600W charge and discharge - obviously some errors creeping in with some background updates

Does it actually limit you to 2.6 or just a visual scaling thing? I.e 0-2600 actually still scales 0-3600?

hoggy I'll have to check tonight on an AC charge or run something hungry!

I’ve noticed the same - suddenly the limits are 2600. This has coincided with me using the automations with octopus?

JK All my gen 3 hybrid installs have had the same thing, I don't think it's related to your situation with Octopus.

Either the devs have mistakenly altered the limits of the range sliders, or they've rolled out a software limit to the charge / discharge without saying anything.

I’ve just checked and I am still able to draw 3.4+ Kw, so looks like it might just be a visual change.

Yes, same just visual

Same - I can change to 3600 via MQTT/Homeassistant, I have noticed the inverter image has changed to a Gen3 for me so they are doing work for sure, it was stuck on a Gen1 for over 6 weeks.

If this is a scaling issue, then it may affect the level of battery charge you specify, too. I try to avoid charging the battery from solar until the generation is capable of exceeding the 5kW AC in order to benefit from rates up to 8.6kW, but I've noticed that setting the battery charge level to, say, 950W, results in it charging at 1050W (etc.) or ignoring the level of charge altogether.
Yes, my maximum has been altered to 2600W as well. Whether it is a true level or not I can't say. Either way it isn't satisfactory to have this changed without notification.

Currently generating at 3.8... and only charging at 2.5. 800w to grid, 300 to home...
That correlates with the 2.6 cap I can see .
Sure ive seen 3.6 before

My Gen3 has been charging fine today, limit set to 3600 in HA. Charging up 2x 9.5kWh batteries.

Seems to be back to 3600 this morning. Weird!

Yup..same..3600 is there now ..
