Is it just me or have the mobile app and PCM route planner gone totally dumb over the last couple of weeks?

It ignores preferred charging networks (IONITY in my case), selects charging stations with way less power when literally right next to them are available chargers twice that fast.

On my usual route which I take almost every week it now suggests literally the slowest possible charger even though there are plenty of other high speed chargers available in much more convenient locations including preferred charger IONITY.

You can override it manually in which case the charging time drops and arrival time is much shorter. W#%?

Last week I was in a corner parking lot and set my destination to a charger that was only a few miles away. I exited the lot on the other street (not the one the planner suggested) and took a different route. The planner never adjusted to my new route and kept suggesting routes back to the parking lot and out the other way! I don't think it rerouted until I was at the shopping center with the charger. I don't think that's normal.

Yesterday I planned a route home after a weekend away and was assured I would stop for 5 mins at a preferred Ionity station to get me there. Somehow it rerouted to an Osprey on the way. No idea why?
