My understanding of the "wifi connection" that the Clarity makes is that it is limited to device-to-device communication. For example, playing music from your phone to the car over WiFi (instead of bluetooth, or CarPlay wired connection).
The car does not communicate to the internet through the wifi link. (I was excited, hooked up my car to the wifi of my house....but no change in update rate or connectivity. In fact, when I am in my garage and right under the wifi it is particularly poor, presumably because the garage has poor cellular reception for whatever service Honda uses for its actual internet access).

There are everal threads on the erroneously high HV range. The fix is to have your dealer apply an update with Seevice Bulletin 18-069.
Whenever mine gets stuck, I bring up the HondaLink screen in the car. No one else has reported that this action updates the info on their phone app, but it does mine.Mine hasn't update for 2 weeks.
I supposedly had that done already, the last time it was in the shop. The EV Number was much higher, in the 70’s or 80’s from memory.
Same here. Just had to do it, today, in fact. Although the problem hasn't happened for about two weeks.

I thought there are two modes WiFi works on the car. One is as a WiFi hotspot (even though it won’t give you internet), and as a WiFi client which can connect to the internet for whatever functions it could use.
This is how my 18 Ody does it, and how you would update the head unit’s software. I have an EX-L which does not include hotspot functionality (ie an LTE cell connection)

Clear cache/data for the app on the phone?
Worth a shot.
Good luck!

Interesting. Have you charged it at any other chargers since then?

I don’t think it’s the ChargePoint. I have one at home and have been charging on it for 6 months and my HL never fails to update.
Yeah I don't think it's that either. Few questions about chargepoint since you have the same charger. I usually get 7.2 kW as the charge rate, is that what you observe? It would be great to have an option to stop charging if the charge drops below let's say 2kW as I don't need the last 5 to 10 min of the top up. I should send a suggestion as it would allow me to hit full Regen quicker 
Update, everything is working now but I have no clue what fixed it after 9 days of not updating. The only thing I did differently that I can tell is I removed my phone from the bluetooth list and re-registered it. A day later it is working again, not sure if that did it or not but its worth a try.

The only thing I find missing in the CP is the ability to stop charging at a user selectable %SOC or as you mentioned a selectable rate.
