Why did my charging pause?
When the electricity grid needs flexibility, Grid Services can pause or slow down charging on your charge point for a while. You see a message in Monta Charge while this is happening.
Most pauses are short, often around 15 minutes, but some last longer. Charging resumes automatically when the pause ends.
Questions about when pauses happen? Contact your operator. If you don't want your charging paused at all, you can leave Grid Services (see below).
