My batteries won’t discharge below 40% between 16:30 and 19:00 despite the demand for electricity
Why is this?

Hambo There seems to be a feature of some firmwares that cause this... if you have a timed export slot with a minimum SoC, then that minimum is honoured even if you don't enable timed export. So have a look to see if you have any configured export slots with a minimum of 40%. Easier to see in the remote control section since the app makes it harder to see the additional slots.

(The remote control is on the portal inverter page - gears icon in the top right.)

What is the "Reserve" setting under "Battery Options" in the app?

Do you have any integrations set up? How do you control the batteries - just the app? WonderWatt? PredBat? Home Assistant?
