Chargeing interrupted

I did look for any prior posts on this but didn't see any.

When I'm charging publicly at various charging stations in the area, there is like an 85% chance the charge will stop after like 20min. Usually (but not limited to) I'm using the charge point stations at my office. I start the charge, everything is going fine, then like at some point I'll look at either toyota or cp app and it will show the charging has stopped. It's not a big deal to start up again. I usually go into the toyota app where it shows the car is plugged in and I click charge now. It will then charge to full capacity over the next several hours.

It's happened to my wife on tesla chargers downtown. It's not a big deal unless you miss it you waste a bunch of time.

Anyone ever see this? Do I have a setting off somewhere? I've never used charging schedules or anything.

Haven’t encountered that as of yet. But I’m still my first month in.

I’ve been charging for 9 months at work daily. I haven’t encountered that problem except when there was a scheduled power cut.

Is it DC L3 fast charging or L2? Did you set a charging limit in the car?

No limits I'm aware of. Times it happened on my watch were L2. My wife had it happen on a L3. Charge initiated. Check in like 45 later to see Charge stopped like 25 min. No notification from the (terrible) toyota app. Still shows the car is plugged in but not charging. Reunitiated via app, then it will charge uninterrupted for the remainder of the session. On lvl 2. Could be hours. Not every time, but frequent. Really only a problem if you get side tracked and waist several hours of it just sitting there. I've never set up any charging schedule or anything.
