Anyone Else Struggling with Smart Charging on Kia EV6?

I snagged my Kia EV6 just 3 months back and switched to IO from Octopus Go last week. Initially, I was pumped about the BP Pulse charger and grabbing cheap power in off-peak hours. But bam! After using Smart charging and leaving the car alone for a bit, my 12V battery conked out not once, but twice. Turns out, the IO app’s constant checking might be keeping my ride up all night, draining the battery. Kia's talking about a software fix, but for now, I've dialed back Smart charging and stuck to a regular schedule. Any other EV6 drivers grappling with these Smart charging headaches? How are you dealing with it?

I feel you buddy, I just got my Kia EV6 three months ago and switched to IO from Octopus Go last week too. I was excited about the BP Pulse charger and snagging cheap off-peak power, but then bam! After using Smart charging, my 12V battery died twice! Crazy right! It turns out that the IO app’s constant checking is like a nosy neighbor keeping my car up all night, Kia says they’re working on a software fix, but for now, I’ve dialed back the smart charging and stuck to a regular schedule. Are there any other EV6 drivers facing these smart charging headaches?
