Calling iV owners, are MySkoda servers down most of the time or is it just me?

It’s been a few weeks that most days there are repeated spells of MySkoda servers being offline. To us iV owners it’s a complete ballache when we are trying to use it to charge the car. Especially being Octopus Agile and trying to use free electricity such as today with negative pricing (ie I’m paid to use their electricity when I charge). 
Is it just my app and car or is everyone noticing the same? Skoda support were quick to reply admitting to it: Recently we were facing some unplanned outages of ŠKODA Connect Services. But it’s still going on day after day and really pi%%ing me off now

The whole time I own the car (1,5 years) is "recently" according to them I didn't extend online services this year because there isn't much use of them anyway. Servers are more down than they're up.

I've seen it down like that, but usually it forces me to log back in which seems reset things.

A lot of down time. Sometimes for  ~ a week, sometimes for hour(s). A reset and login is usually necessary to get contact again.

So can’t blame Skoda entirely. After their quick tech investigation, turns out it’s the Skoda Connect integration I was using with Home Assistant that was causing Skoda servers to disconnect, presumably as too frequent calls on the servers from the integration. 
Shame, but all is good again, just can’t use Home Assistant to automatically charge under a certain Octopus Agile price or ‘see’ the Octy in Apple Home app and programme automations from there anymore. Annoying.

Well done getting to the bottom of that one! Just a thought, have you tried IFTTT (IF This Then That) to automate the charging?

Down again. All afternoon for me!
