since jan 26 the datapoint tarifGrid is not anymore updated. When I log into evcc I get the above mentioned message. Recently I received this message from Mercedes Benz: Ihr Fahrzeug mit der Fahrzeug-Identifizierungsnummer W1A4533911K457334 wurde erfolgreich aus Ihrem Mercedes-Benz Benutzerkonto entfernt. Somit können Sie leider die Mercedes-Benz connect Dienste nicht mehr für dieses Fahrzeug nutzen. Also recently I Updated evcc to the latest Version. the vehicles part of the evcc.yaml reads as:`vehicles:

• type: template
  template: smart
  title: Smart EQ
  user: xxx@yyyy
  password: zzzzz
  vin: W1A4533911K457334
  capacity: 17.6
  name: ev1`
  How can I get evcc working again

The API is deprecated for the Smart EQ by Mercedes, so you have to switch to offline mode for the car or something else.

Thank you for this information. Sorry, how do I switch to offline mode? As I am currently not in Austria and there is no need to charge the car, I only need to get the app running again to retrieve the value of tarifGrid which I need for some Grafana graphs. Can somebody suggest me the vehicle part of the evcc.yaml considering the missing API?

If you do not need to charge the car, you can completely remove it from the config for now.
Here is an example for an offline vehicle from my config:

- name: Smart
  type: template
  template: offline
  title: Smart
  capacity: 17.6
  mode: now
