Setting up Givenergy to charge the battery at certain times

Hello, Does anyone know what i've done wrong?

I wanted to charge to a minimum level on Givenergy batteries when my tarif is really cheap, so I set it up to charge to 60% - so that it would hopefully charge from the solar most of the time, but when its been cloudy for a couple of days, it would always top up. This way i wouldn't be always charging from the Grid and wasting the solar (I can't get an export tarif because the previous owners didn't get an MCS certificate).

I used the following inside of the inverter settings.

However, it seems to have charged a little from the grid, then forced all the solar to be exported while keeping the battery at 67% and not charging any further.

Can anyone help?
