The OnStar network (or more specifically the gateway used by the my.chevrolet website) appears to suffer more than most networks when the car is a) in a garage, and b) it's cold outside (like < 15 degrees F).

The "API" for this is written by web scraping. As such, it only currently is known to work if you have a Chevy Bolt EV, and only 1 Chevy car connected to OnStar.
