I never used scheduled charging, no real need for it. I decided to give it a try last week just to test it. I wanted it to charge from 70% to 85% overnight to prepare for a road trip. It did not work.
I have to use scheduled charging or I pay like double the electricity rate.

Happened to me this morning. It should have started at 9:30 last night, actually started at exactly 6am. WTF! Luckily we don't need the truck today, because it was down to 30 miles yesterday.

I use scheduled charging almost exclusively and it has been mostly reliable. I have only had it not start charging twice in the past year. Unfortunately one of those times was before a road trip. Wasn't a big deal, I just didn't make it all the way to 100%.

My guess is the truck goes to sleep and falls into a coma, then doesn't know to wake up to start charging. My theory is that this "coma" is also why remote commands fail and the PaaK doesn't open the door when you walk up, though those latter two are issues I have every day.

Delete and re-create your schedule from your normal charging location. I was told there would be a way in the future to set locations but the only way to set is from anew at the actual charge location.
This (for now). This hit me a couple of times when staying at a place we regularly travel to and having vehicle not start charging.
