The BMW app is updated with a random charging schedule and departure time, however the charging does work in line with the Octopus schedule. I have noticed a couple of times the same issue you're getting, where the car has continued charging despite the OG schedule being set, not sure why but it's not happened often.

I was told by Octopus that even if the car charges in daylight hours, as long as its the nominated vehicle, it will always be at the cheap rate - unless you 'bump charge' it.
I assume that you may have a day with say lots of sun and wind and low demand - when electricity is cheap during daylight hours. In which case the charge is not delayed.
Just guessing there though.
