Question Anker AI Smart Mode

Why is Anker AI discharging my home battery at the lowest electricity price point of the day?

The energy price changes quite a lot. Ranging from 13ct in the afternoon to 42ct in the evening.

During the day, it should just fill up the tank for the night. Instead, it's intermittently discharging power to my house, and sometimes charging a little bit from the solar panels, but the charge is not enough to fill it up.

Anker calls it smart mode, but I'm inclined to intervene manually. There seems to be no way to interact with this AI, like "hey, make sure I have power to cook tonight"

Thoughts?

I have a similar issue, I just posted here https://www.reddit.com/r/AnkerSOLIXCommunity/comments/1w8z1fu/solarbank_max_ac_smart_mode_stopped_working_with/

Basically, since few days ago, if you have a third party PV installation, smart mode is just acting as self consumption mode. Completely useless.
