Recently my 2017 Leaf have been doing a triple-beep along with a triple flash (all three lights flash at once) whenever i unplug my OpenEVSE.
It didn't used to do this. It doesn't do it when I use the level 1 nissan evse.
It occurs after i press the trigger on the j1772 handle; when it's phsically being yanked out of the socket; sometimes it does it more than once (like two or three sets of triple beeps/flashes).
I made a video in case i'm not explaining this correctly:

The first 40 seconds is the oem evse working as expected, so you can skip over that.
I checked for trouble codes with leafspy; there were 13 different "OK None", plus this one that i don't know if it means anything:
U1000 0008 BCM CAN comm circuit
The car's charge timer is inactive.
I read through this thread:

I supposed it's similar but i was sortof confused about the solutions.
the j1772 handle on my OpenEVSE is marked "quickchargepower.com" and "j-plug 40A" in case that tells anything

It otherwise and still charges just fine -- is this causing any problems I might not be aware of? is it bad for the Leaf?
