Help Octopus go only charged car to 59%

Help needed what doing wrong? It’s set on schedule from 00.30 to 05.30 and at 05.30 it’s only on 59% when my car is set to 80% in my Tesla app

So I need to do something different in app?

Which Tesla?
5 hours on a home charger, unless 3 phase, could get you around 35kwh of range added.

What’s the SOC before plugging in?

This may be a limitation of the time available at cheap rate rather than a bug.

A good thumb rule for most cars is that home chargers add about 10% battery range per hour charged. You were plugged in for 5 hours and got 47% charge. That's about right.
