After a few editing sessions on a route, ABRP fails to plan properly
I’m planning many separate legs of a 10,000-mile drive in my Tesla that has both NACS and CCS charging capability. It’s a very small battery that’s degraded over four years to about 52KWh capacity, which on level roads at 68 F with no wind gives me about 180 miles of range. Under adverse conditions that I expect to encounter (mountainous, 25 mph headwinds, 35 F temps), I’ll get as few as 100 miles of range. So it’s critically important for me to plan as accurately as possible to rule out effective dead-ends that can’t be reached.
The leg I’m working on starts at Amarillo, TX, and ends near Salt Lake City, UT, visiting many national parks in-between. I had a nominally-ok route planned, but after I made a small change to that route and re-planned, the system filed to route with a “No valid plan found - this is the best attempt” message. It failed to shows passable sections that are well within my car’s range, highlighting most of the route in dotted red lines.
Here’s the plan URL:

Here’s a screenshot:
I’ve tried restarting the plan, clearing it and reloading it from my saved plans, closing/restarting my browser (Firefox on MacOS), and logging out/in ABRP. No change after any of these actions. I’m stuck, and I need to depart (New Hampshire) in two days!

Infuriatingly, this failure of ABRP has been marked as “Completed”, which it most certainly is not. It still broken and “support” has been useless. I’m done with this app and am canceling my subscription.

Hi
If I add Level 2 chargers in the settings the plan will work.

Well, that’s mystifying. Why on earth would adding an additional search parameter avoid the (apparent) overflow bug??
Also, I’m traveling, so level 2 chargers are an absolute last-resort method; I need DC chargers to minimize time to minutes, not hours.

I’ve been experimenting, in absence of any support response, with this plan. I found that if I started over with a new plan with a reduced number of waypoints, I can get it to complete. I had to drastically shorten it to Gallup through Capitol Reef. If I add just one more waypoint, though, it crashes with the “No valid plan found” message, with the entire route in dotted red lines. This is repeatable. Unfortunately, this limitation in the number of waypoints makes this tool much less useful to me, as 10,000 miles divided into under-ten-waypoint legs is extremely cumbersome.
Unless there’s a workaround? The odd thing is, in 2022, I used ABRP for planning a 7,000-mile trip and had no such problem. So something has changed in the webapp.
