Vehicle status not up-to-date

Describe the bug evStatus.batteryStatus received by vehicle.status() is not up-to-date and in sync with what the official Bluelink App displays. For instance, evStatus.batteryStatus is “37” although the Bluelink App shows “80” which is correct.

Before this observation, I noticed that Bluelinky’s response was only updating when refreshing the status in the Bluelink App.

Usefull info(please complete the following information):

• OS: Linux
• Bluelinky Version 7.3.0
• Region: EU
• Brand: Hyundai

Additional context The use case is to poll the Bluelink API (every ~15 minutes or so depending on whether driving or charging) and to print the SoC on a bluetooth-connected display. Sequence in pseudo-code is:

start:
client = new BlueLinky({config});

when ready, vehicle = client.getVehicle(vin);
response = await vehicle.status();
print response.evStatus.batteryStatus;

wait 15 minutes
goto start

I had the query running every 20 minutes (24h) and it killed the battery twice. So depending on the battery condition something around 70 requests a day is enough to drain it completely.

I’m now at every 3 hours from 8 am to 8 pm and that seems to be fine (so far)

Depends on multiple factors. I would think about 100 times. Yes also applies on EVs. Even more since that 12v battery is rather small The battery status is only updated when driving or when shutting down the engine. So no indication it is about to die.

How many times before battery is getting drained? Does this apply to electric vehicles, too? Is 12V battery status returned by vehicle.status() and how to know before battery is „killed“? BTW, awesome project and keep up your great work! Really cool!
