@Carlos_Sol-Ark read through this thread please..... This is what I was talking about when I mentioned a SEPARATE gen start menu in my PM to you! I have literally been bringing this issue up to the tech support guys for probably 4 years now.....
What does it take to be heard on issues like these, and see results in terms of changes?
To OP and anyone else looking at this thread.... TOU will most definitely limit the gen charge exactly like it does the grid charge. Even when using gen terminals specifically!
TOU limits ALL AC CHARGING!
This should not be! Gen terminals, gen auto start and gen input should be 100% isolated from grid, as far as how and when it is used!
A workaround is to turn on gen force and leave it on at all times, then use a Victron BMV-712 battery monitor and program it's relay to start and stop the gen. You will also want to then have a relay with it's coil activated by grid, and with the gen start signal run through the contacts, so that when grid comes back on, the gen start signal is broken.
Another note, if you don't have TOU enabled, gen start will work when grid goes down. But...... when grid comes back on the gen won't shut down until the stop parameter is reached. The stop parameter, by the way, is not user accessible.... it is built-into the backend to stop at ~95%.....
