Again one overnight with the car unplugged and the FCSP gets updated. I have the 5.0.25 firmware version now.
This confirms that FCSP updates get pushed between midnight and early morning hours as long as you car is not plugged in and your station is connected to the FORD server (via your wifi).

yeah, seemed to only affect those charging at 80 amps and turning it down was the work around until the update. Some still reported the issue after the update but mine has been solid since. Don't recall what the original firmware was but was showing a pending update after installing mine March 2024. Reset the breaker to force the update after a quick google search when mine gave the overheating error. Then there was also the more recent version you mentioned.
Actually, I remember now that I did charge at 80A one time before the firmware was updated when a fellow forum member came over to try my FCSP with his ER battery Lightning, but only for a minute or two, not long enough to heat up much.

Bought a brand new in box Ford Charge Station Pro from a member last week. Just got it installed today on a 100A breaker.
I followed the instructions to set it up with the app and it currently charges flawlessly at 17.4kwh rate. What a change from the mobile charger @110V! Definitely will be a game changer for my commute. The faster charge time will add more flexibility for me👍

What size wire did you run to your charger?
