Highlighted: the lines this signal was extracted from

Had my 2025 Ford Explorer ev since June. Recently have been plugging into my ohme epod charger at home and noticed that after a short while I get a solid red light by the charging port on the car and dashboard saying unable to fully charge. I am on an EV tarrif and this is set for overnight ondynamic charging. Is there an issue. Once I open the car and pull out and push in the cable and rest everything on app to charge overnight the light goes off. I'm not sure if it's been happening since I had the car due to light nights and mornings and now winter nights are here I'm noticing the red light. The car seems to charge ok. I've read it's something to do with a conflict between the car expecting to charge and ohme waiting for ev tarrif to kick in.
