How to turn off optimize charging

My PW charges from solar everyday, then discharges in the evening when power is expensive. It used to charge straight to 100% and get there by noon. Now it stops at 80%, then charges to 100% by 230pm. I believe it was a setting called Optimize Charging. How do I change this so the PW charges straight to 100% using solar?

Background. Yes I understand it’s better for the battery to spend less time at 100% charge. My issue is I’ve got solar with string inventors (yes they suck), so in the early afternoon a single palm tree blocks a single panel and then my entire solar output gets cut in half, right around the time my powerwall wants to charge. It’s also the time I run my AC to cool the house before peak power starts at 4pm. I also over generate total power, but still get charged a non-bypassable charge every time I pull a kw off the grid. So my goal is to limit pulling from the grid (without setting PW to self power). I’d rather my PW spend an extra 2 hours daily at 100% for the summer months, than have to pay the non-bypassable charges for pulling power off the grid.

VPP Questions

SCE customer who just signed up for VPP. First day is Tuesday 8/4 5-8pm. Two questions:

My power wall charges with solar during the day, then discharges starting at peak power rate at 4pm. During VPP days, I don’t want my power wall to discharge until the VPP event starts at 5pm. What is the best and easiest way to change its start of discharge time from 4pm to 5pm on VPP days?

I’m still generating quite a lot of solar at 5pm. Do I get paid for whatever I sell back to grid from 5-8pm, or just what comes from my power wall?

Roam 100GB Plan Unavailable?

I have a Starlink mini dish and my service is inactive. I cancelled it after they quadrupled the price for small airplanes. I was on the Roam 50GB plan for $50/month. I believe that has been replaced with the Roam 100GB plan for $55/month. When I try to resubscribe, it’s unavailable. I can only see the Roam 300GB for $80/month. How do I reactivate my Roam 100GB plan?

Does anyone have a pool service they recommend? I have a company who comes twice a week and does a decent job for my short term rental, but they occasionally miss a cleaning and it causes a huge issue when the pool is dirty when a new guest arrives.

I either need a new pool service who does not miss a cleaning. Or I need someone to come out short notice for just 10 minutes to clean the pool. They don’t have to do chemicals or anything crazy, just clean it enough that it doesn’t look awful. Does anyone have a person or company they recommend? Or even a handyman/task rabbit type person who would be open to doing pool skim/vacuum a few times a year?
