I wish I had paid more attention to posts on this in the past. Is the on board scheduled charge facility working now?
I now have Octopus go so tried to schedule a charge last night from 00:30 to 04:30. It was on a granny as I'm still waiting for my Wallbox Unit.
When I locked the car the green charging light at the plug blinked for quite a while and then went off. I thought that looked good.
Was up late'ish and at 00:35 nothing! Deleted the time I had set and it started charging straight away and showed 4hours 50 mins to 80%.
Battery Life on youtube in May seemed to think it wasn't working and would be sorted on a later OTA update. I cant find any later information than this,

As a matter of interest what was the battery percentage before it started charging via your granny lead?

Just checked and I forgot to knock the charge back to 80% so it went to 90%. Does that make any difference?

It has not changed since first introduced in the 2.0 software, and from what I’ve read it is not changing in the imminent OTA updates either.
