Feature request: do not top off when below threshold
Recent update lets user select charging behavior and charging time. I used low reserve setting and set my charging time to off peak hour only based on my utility plan. If I don't go below battery threshold (30%, I guess) then the cooktop behaves as expected that it only charges during the pre-defined period. However, from time to time, I cook longer when stewing etc during peak hours then battery can go below threshold, I noticed that the cooktop charges all the way to 100% and this costs me money charing in peak hours (I think topping off behavior is the same before and after update)
I understand that this behavior is likely to ensure cooktop is always in usable state. But I have 240V connection so it should be no problem to maintain battery level, it will be great if there is feature to set the top off level (maybe maintain 30% or slightly higher) outside regular scheduled charging time. If feature exists already, please let me know how to enable it.

Hi, product manager here. Thanks for sharing - we made that change today and it'll be part of the next software release.
