That's good news. It's a nice feature, having it for less energy expense would be even better.

I charge my MX to 80% while at home but I've noticed that it has 77% state of charge when I wake up in the morning. I'm not sure what is draining it or why the charger doesn't kick in and top it off. Maybe this change will help?

That is probably something different. I think what is happening there is a recalculation of the current charge state, vs actual loss. Seems like there is a 'settling' happening. My P85 did this, so maybe it is something different but I don't think it is real loss. There were times when that car would have a SOC of around 50 and it would go up a couple % overnight for no reason, so that's part of why I say all this. I am no expert .
