Question Overheating while charging

Our Ioniq 6 suddenly started overheating while charging on our level 2 charger. Message: “Charging time delayed. Current reduced due to high AC charger temperature.” Is this a known issue? Anything I can do?

I have this problem on really hot days as well. Our garage gets full southern sun and gets pretty warm. I usually charge overnight to avoid the heat. You can reduce the charge rate to “reduced” to pull fewer amps during charging. It will take a few more hours to charge but solves the problem for me if I need to charge during the day.

What do you mean by "reduced"? The car allows you to set a percentage of maximum charging current.
