Tesla API calls succeed payment limits

[albertunterberger]

Description

I integrated my Tesla (Y) into EVCC and it works. However, I noticed that Tesla blocks traffic due to too many API calls (up to 500+ per day). I increased the payment limit twice in increments of EUR 5, but it was quickly reset.
I believe this mainly happens when the car is connected, the SOC limit (Tesla = 80%) is reached, and it stops charging. I had over 160 wake-up calls last night.

I updated to the latest version 0.300.3.
I've tried all my ideas and guesses, including heavy use of ChatGPT, but without success.

Does anyone have the same problem or an idea how to solve it?

Steps to Reproduce

1. Connect vehicle
2. Charge mode now
3. After reaching the SoC limit (my suspect) EVCC sends many wake - up calls
