Limit inverter power is a global setting that is active 100% of the time whether discharging from batteries or powering loads from PV.

I asked for a feature request where a different limit could be set for each schedule so that you can effectively have two different limits, one when not charging to control battery discharge rate and another when charging so PV usage wouldn’t be throttled.

The current implementation is very limiting.
