 - **`battery.charging_curve_enabled`**:  
   Enables or disables the dynamic charging curve for the battery.  
   - `true`: The system will automatically reduce the maximum charging power as the battery SOC increases, helping to protect battery health and optimize efficiency.

+Tests for max_grid_charge_rate and max_pv_charge_rate limiting.
+This ensures that the inverter charge rate limits are properly respected
+in the final AC and DC charge power calculations.
+
+Example use case (from user):
+- Battery max_charge_power_w: 2000 W (total battery limit)
+- Inverter max_grid_charge_rate: 1000 W (grid charging limit)
+- Inverter max_pv_charge_rate: 2000 W (PV charging limit)
+- Zendure Solarflow 800 Pro can charge from grid (1000W) + PV (2000W) but max 2000W total

+**Important Notes:**
+- **`current_discharge_allowed`**: This field reflects the **final effective state** after all overrides (EVCC modes, manual overrides) are applied. For example:
+  - When EVCC is charging in PV mode (`"inverter_mode": "MODE DISCHARGE ALLOWED EVCC PV"`), `current_discharge_allowed` will be `true` even if the optimizer originally suggested avoiding discharge
+  - This ensures consistency between the mode and discharge state for integrations like Home Assistant
