Avoid wake up loop during battery health check (soh test)

[RichieB2B]

I ran a battery health check yesterday. A requirement is to be connected to a changer with a minimum of 5 kW power. The test starts with discharging the battery. This confuses TWCManager: it tries to start the charge but the start command receives this error as a response:

2025-10-31 22:08:51,662 - 🚗 TeslaAPI 20 ERROR "High energy features disabled during soh test" when trying to start car charging via Tesla car API.  Will try again later.

This error causes vehicle.lastErrorTime to be set and vehicle.ready() to return False.

However, TWCManager still tried to wake the car every 5 seconds:

2025-10-31 22:11:49,628 - 🚗 TeslaAPI 13 Car API cmd wake_up<Response [200]>
2025-10-31 22:11:55,739 - 🚗 TeslaAPI 13 Car API cmd wake_up<Response [200]>
2025-10-31 22:12:01,851 - 🚗 TeslaAPI 13 Car API cmd wake_up<Response [200]>
2025-10-31 22:12:07,870 - 🚗 TeslaAPI 13 Car API cmd wake_up<Response [200]>
2025-10-31 22:12:14,028 - 🚗 TeslaAPI 13 Car API cmd wake_up<Response [200]>

The wake up call is a charged Tesla Fleet API endpoint, so that turned out to be pretty expensive.

I think this can be avoided to call self.getCarApiRetryRemaining with the vehicle parameter. This will take into account the vehicle.lastErrorTime and backoff the wake up calls.

You could also explicitly recognize the error that it fails with and consider that a successful wake, if the car is otherwise online. (Though I think the code already tries to check the car's status before waking it unnecessarily?)

That is a bit tricky. It is not the wake call that fails but the start charge call. We could ignore this specific error there but the car status will not indicate "charging".. that might lead to other problems. Perhaps a "start charge" loop..

The wake loop is caused by ready() returning false. Which is correct since there was an error.

I do believe calling getCarApiRetryRemaining without the vehicle parameter is actually a bug. The comment even mentions "this vehicle" which it currently is not checking.
