Pausing Charge+Discharge unexpected outcome

Here is a bit of a head scratcher for folks for my All-In-One system, for the first time in a long time I originally set charge and discharge to pause between 09:30 and 16:00 and I only had to investigate because solax portal said I brought in just over 7kwh today from solar but GE portal only done 2.6 so I generated a report to compare this month on solax and GE and report said 5.3 was generated today.

I will post info below but it includes the month so far between solax and GE portal (I know there will be some differences due to losses, I was fully expecting this) but today seemed way off despite capturing everything on the portal itself.

The black line above in the GE chart is where it said I had generated 2.4, end of the day it says overall 2.6, all other meter readings seem 100% fine, its just solar.

This is from report page

Home Assistant seems to agree with my findings and the timing between what it picks up after 09:30 til 4pm kinda matches with the changes I made after waking up.

These are the changes I made

I wouldn't have thought that would stop it counting solar on meter side, the only MAJOR discrepancy is on today when I had charge AND discharge paused and system went idle mode.

Anybody else here paused both charge and discharge before that can check how things look on their end

EDIT
WOW, apparently my home has only used 8kwh so far today lol, end of day is typically 15/16, guess it REALLY doesn't like you pausing charge and discharge on battery.

I reported this last June and haven't used it since. GE 3rd line did say they would follow up but I never got any follow up. I forgot all about it and cant believe its still a bug after all this time!

I have emailed GE on my previous email chain to see if there is any update

It is a head scratcher isnt it, it still records all the info it just doesn't update the meter data which I thought wouldn't happen, I assumed it would count what it sees whether im charging/discharging or not.

Idle shouldn't mean not updating meter info, its JUST the battery that is being left alone.

I was so confused wondering what the hell was going on because on the PV data section it had it all there lol

Jellybaby I followed up to see if the bug had been recorded as fixed and Jacob Smith on 3rd line said there was no record of a fix. I then tried to reproduce it and I was unable to on 613 and BMS10 so it looks like it might be your combination of firmware, 612 and BMS12 I thought I saw on another thread? Be worth getting the firmware updated as I think 612 also had the G100 bug and if it still persists could you send Jacob the details please.

Hopeful yeah im gonna try and wait for a longish cheap day because all my previous update attempts have been nightmares, last one was going on and off and on and off for nearly 2 hours iirc and had comms failure so I thought it wouldn't be able to do anything so manually shut it down and restarted it.

Ofc I can't phone up anymore if something goes wrong either lol

Jellybaby I updated to 161 and BMS12 last night and I dont see a problem with Pause both so I think it must be something odd with your combination. It didnt force a recalibrate but I did one anyway just to be on the safe side.

Hmm, I am on BMS 10 (AIO) but do not see an option to upgrade to BMS12.
The only thing I have to upgrade is the dongle firmware to 206.

Has anyone had any experience of this? I don't have any connection issues at all and am loathe to do this upgrade on the basis of "it it ain't broke, don't fix it"
