If your breaker continues to trip, I would open up the breaker panel and check the wiring.
I had the same issue, and when I opened up the panel, the wire was loose. It was causing an arc, tripping the breaker.
Agreed. If you're tripping the breaker, there is likely a significant wiring problem that needs to be fixed. A vehicle slightly throttling the charge is a little less concerning.

Sometime around the latest vehicle update to 2023.50.01 the charger started acting screwy. It will charge for the first hour at max speed (10.9 kw/h) and at the end of that hour drops to 6.9 kw/hr and stays there, regardless of state of charge. If you unplug and replug it starts the clock over, works for an hour and then drops. We have a different level II charger that chargers at about 9 kw/hr and will charge at that level consistently to the desired max charge rate.

I have reset the breakers for the charger. Performed a hard reset on the vehicle. The problems persists. Rivian chat support sent my problem to their “charging team” two weeks ago and only crickets in response. Anyone else having this problem?

My 14-50 plug and OEM mobile chargers on my R1S and Tesla Model 3 both started downgrading due to heat over night. I finally broke down and got a hard wired 48 amp home charger after 3 years of using OEM mobile chargers.

The latest software update - version 2025.22.01 for my Gen1 R1T - came out today. The following is listed under Additional Improvements. I'm hoping it might address the AC charging issues a few of us posted in this thread.

Improved AC charging stability and fault handling.
