Mode Scheduler issue since app update

I wonder if the braintrust here might be able to help!

My Fox ESS battery SOC keeps resetting to 90% once I enable Mode Scheduler to force charge the battery from 0000hrs to 0530hrs after the latest app update.
It stops discharging below 90% even though I overwrite the min SOC to 15%. To reset it to 15% from 90% that I believe the inverter has overwritten it to I have to put it back into 'self use' mode.

I'm trying to mode schedule it so the battery force charges during that time window (cheap electricity prices with Octopus Intelligent Go) and then behaves as normal outside of that block.

Any ideas what's happening here and how to get to a solution?

Appreciate any and all comments!

Not sure if it’s the same thing but another user reported something similar after using the new app where it copied a pervious soc setting and stored it in the new ‘default’ workmode, problem is you can’t see it or edit it.

I’ve copied his post below in it’s entirety which contains the workaround he found.

EDIT: SOLVED at last. The new app for me has created a new mode in the Mode Scheduler called Self Use (the Remaining Time Mode) and in its wisdom, decided to copy the 40% SoC across and store it, but it does not allow one to get to it from the app and change it. This is where the phantom 40% is coming from.

WORK AROUND:
If you are experiencing phantom SoC changes, go the web interface and edit your schedules there. You will see that Self Use work mode with the offending SoC, but you can’t change the SoC as it runs from 00:00 to 23:59. Just delete it and then save.

Thanks to Andrew Lovell for his information.

Legend!!!! Thanks! I didn't even know there was a web interface! That's sorted it!
