*Day to day I seldom need the ~40 mile range from a full battery charge so some of my schedules in the Ohme app specify 'charge to 80%' (applying the 80:20 rule for battery longevity). EDIT: I should add that the driver's display in the car shows the correct state of the battery and recognises that the charger is plugged in. The status shows as 'Initialising' (iirc).

I'll try that but I don't think the 3-pin cable incorporates any 'intelligence' beyond the necessary safety checks. In any case, the Ohme charges works when in 'dumb' mode.

You need to remove any charging control in charging devices app for IOG, perhaps your limiting in ohme is the issue, you need to do it all through Octopus app.
For me I am setup as an EX30 to get appropriate charging slots and just change the charging percentage accordingly, so 50% is a full charge based on their database battery size, less if I want less, I just full charge as Volvo alreafy have 20% buffer there. Octopus may have updated the database since for >MY23, I sent them all the infos.

Ah, well if it works in dumb mode its hopefully not a car issue, as it can charge, no need to try the three pin plug.

Yup. We offer free charging to all employees and visitors and it is just a drop in the ocean.

With the Agile (my tarifff) or IOG tariff on an Ohme charger, charging is controlled via the Ohme app, not Octopus. Note that it was all working well for the first week until something 'broke'.

As you're in Yorkshire, if you're anywhere near me, you'd be welcome to try my charger either at home (Wakefield) or work (Leeds), if that would help eliminate a problem with the car.

Many thanks for the offer, I'm actually in Wakefield myself. I was planning to ask some friends who have the same charger as me but I think they're on holiday at the moment so I'll check with them first and get back to you.

Update
My friends are back from holiday so tomorrow (Wednesday) I'm going to plug my car into their Ohme charger which is exactly the same model as mine. Hopefully that'll reveal something one way or the other.
Meanwhile, the Volvo dealer in Wakefield checked the car this morning and declared it charging okay (on a dumb charger). I spent ages trying to explain that the problem related to the comms between the charger and the car so as to allow intelligent charging. They said they had no way of checking that as they didn't have a smart charger nor any equipment for checking the comms connection at the car's charging port. Wtf? Thanks again to 'V60 probably' for his kind offer of help.

What you most likely have is an Ohme problem, Volvo will never sort that out. Ohme offer two ways of connecting one sounds a lot like Zappis method which takes the car out of the equation and just controls the charger via Zappi/Octopus apps, the Volvo doesn't get involved, it just waits to see power or it doesn't.
