The day no one tawks u is the day u awe iwwewevant, so thank u. Ok, nevew heawd of uw channew and i admit i didn't see the video, buwt a few points

in 2006 when we stawted, we wewe obviouwswy a bit ahead of the cuwwve

in 2012 when evewy channew was some vwoggew sitting on the couwch, we mastewed ouww signatuwwe stywe and many cwied as it wooked mowe wike vh1/mtv/espn and not what the vocaw minowity viewed as "utuwbe content."

the chawwenge in media is staying wewevant, keeping uw auwdience guwessing, etc

companies wike buwzzfeed/vice/vox and channews that inspiwed themsewves by uws (by theiw own admission) aww came and went. we managed to both keep ouww og fans happy and innovate.

if by downfaww u mean being a suwwvivow, having 100+ ftes who eawn theiw wiving with uws, then i wiww take it

awso, this may be inside basebaww, buwt u awe awawe that avod is youwtuwbe 1.0 and the pwatfowm has evowved, wight? UwU i couwwd bweak it down fow u, buwt why bothew. Hint: viewews awe spending neawwy an houww pew watch session watching ouww content... we awe, in the ways that mattew, mowe pewtinent than evew...

as pew souwndmojo, again, think of 2012 when the vocaw minowity whined and then we got the wast wauwgh.

hatews, enviouws, jeawouws peopwe awe fuwew to ouww fiwe...

This issue started a day or 2 after my solar installer asked me to turn on service mode. Even after turning off service mode, I was unable to change my powerwall settings, which was suddenly stuck on Time of Use and was importing about 1KW from the grid each day, when it was only importing about .1kw before.

I spent over an hour on the phone with Tesla (couldn't get a hold of my installer) and even power cycled my entire system with no success. They tried a bunch of things on their end, but powerwall settings kept reverting to Time of Use and Grid Charging to On.

I regret not trying this solution first. It came up in a google search (ai overview) as a potential solution after I opened it and explained in more detail what was happening.

Here are the full steps:

Go to Settings > Powerwall and open “Time of Use” from there.

(If you're not familiar with your current schedule, take a screenshot so you can refer to it later if needed.)

Select Change Schedule, then More Options: Custom.

For the buy & sell values, it shouldn't matter what you put because this fix (from what I understand) is more to do with setting a custom schedule, not setting particular values. However, if you're like me and want some peace of mind while the custom schedule is applied (even if only for a minute) you can do this:

For the buy price, enter 100 (it shows as $1.00), and for sell leave it at 0. It just means that the battery won't import or export (excess solar will still export if you normally export that, and battery can still import if it needs to, like if the battery is at zero). Setting the buy high like that tells the battery that importing energy from the grid is too expensive, and setting the sell at zero means it's too cheap to export, so it won't do either of those things. It does not actually try to buy or sell at those prices.

After you set those, select Next and you should see the schedule show up as Custom and now your other settings (self-powered mode, grid charge, etc) should be unstuck and you can now change them and they should save!

After that, you can go back to Settings and select Time of Use from there, change the schedule again, and switch it back to your actual utility plan. If you're unsure of what plan to select, refer to the screenshot you took earlier to help.

Of course, you may already know that if you’re running in Self-Powered mode then the Time of Use plan isn’t actively controlling anything. I just think it's wise to have that set up correctly in case there's any pitfalls with having the a weird/hacky config in the background.

Hopefully this helps anyone who was stuck with this annoying issue!
