Your experience on the flying j charger seems just fine. I stop at flying j all the time with my model y. Your AutoCharge+ plug and charge worked. I'm not bothered by the connect time.
This site has had many issues since going on 6 weeks ago or so. It was fine yesterday. They need to get these sites commissioned on first try and reliable.
It definitely looks like the second cable had some sort of a cooling issue. It's also possible that the station thought the first cable was still connected for some reason, at which point, the second cable might be limited to 250 A. I was hoping that EVgo would have sorted Delta's software/hardware issues by now, but maybe there are still some quirks. In my limited experience on the new Delta 350 kW units, though, I haven't had any significant issues with Autocharge, power limits, etc. As someone with an EV that doesn't support ISO 15118, the EVgo chargers are far more convenient and easy to use than the Superchargers, and EVgo is much cheaper than Tesla in my region as well.
Unfortunately, the Blazer EV uses an encrypted CAN bus that can not easily be scanned beyond standard PIDs. This case was charger side derating/issue (almost certainly as behavior was different), but it would be nice to be able to monitor Blazer side, which occurs after about 20 min +/-. I would love to be able to hook up a scanner.
Good info for CCS1 vehicles. Too bad GM did not stay working on evs when they had the EV1. I think non Tesla ev sales will increase once they have the NACS connector. It really does not matter much except for road trips, but mostly just the thought of buying a new vehicle with an outdated connector. I have a Tesla DMLRY and the CCS1 to Tesla adapter, and it has come in handy 3 or 4 times, mostly in small towns with 50 kw DC SLOW chargers 🤔 😊.
You're complaining way too much and you're making way too many assumptions against the station. If you want blazing fast speeds come to the e-GMP side.

An ice cold charger won’t deliver full power immediately from what I’ve seen. It will switch over to 500A after a few minutes once it’s warmed up.
Did the chargers have to warm up before amperage went up?
Maybe? It wasn't very long time, could minutes. I will keep an eye on that next time I charge there.
Have you tried monitoring pack temps with Carscanner while charging? I wonder what temps causes the derate and whether keaving hvac off will help.

50 kW is great, even if not ideal. Much faster than AC. Great for infrequently used chargers.

I have an e-gmp, as long as they aren't cold they are crazy fast. This station is trash right now.
