This is strange! I did practically the same, car charged overnight with the locked SOC, and then when the SOC was fixed the full charging history was there.

Edit to add: Both start and finish charging occurred during the “broken” SOC. The app said that the car was not connected the whole time, but I did receive messages to my phone’s Lock Screen that charging had started and again when charging had stopped.

It did show up under history after I unplugged the car. That's not logical behavior to me - why not update the history at the same time the SOC is updated? (12:29 am)

Yup, this has happened several times. I keep a spreadsheet of my charges (of course I do), and having the miles missing is very aggravating,

Me too. Now I'm in the habit of noting the mileage and recording it immediately every time I plug in.

You can export each month's charging history as an Excel file from the MINI mobile app. That file will have all the details you seek, including the car's odometer when you charged it.

1. Scroll down and tap on the "Charging history" button:

2. On the "Charging history" page, tap the "SHARE" button. This will give you some options for where to save the spreadsheet (I use DropBox). Swipe left-to-right on the month to select previous months and repeat for each one you want a spreadsheet for.

I do this, then import the monthly data into my own copy of the Efficiency Tracking spreadsheet developed by @Carsten Haase.
 
Yes. mine was stuck for a few days at 64%. Mine is also stopping the charge at 64% or 80%. I have to unplug and plug back into the juicebox/car.
 
I don't believe there has been an app update, so perhaps it's on the back end? Not only is my charge status updating on the app, but the widget is updating dynamically as my car is charging — for the first time in quite some time.
 
There's still an issue, the app alerts about charging seem to be using UTC instead of local time. From yesterday I got an alert at 18:17 that the charging was complete, but it said it finished at 23:17 – exactly five hours later, which is my current timezone offset from UTC. The app shows the correct (local) time but if you go into the charging session details it shows UTC for all events (plug-in, start, complete).

Confusingly sometimes the alerts have the correct time.

(I have submitted feedback on this via the app.)

I'm getting mixed results from the app. It appears that some days, it can't locate my car (which is in the same old driveway I always charge in), and some days, it can't tell me how much I paid (and my electric rate rarely changes).
 
The app is still somewhat goofy. The time of day for today's charge is completely off. The current location of my vehicle is listed at a place I went last Saturday, not my driveway (like it used to). And it still does not show the cost of the charge. This is not good.

Treat the app like the GOM?
