Ford pass app won’t remote start if gas gauge is below a 1/4 tank. Is this how it is designed?

Honestly, I don't know.
Unless I'm on a road trip, I can't remember when I've had below 1/4 tank.
I'd rather suspect your battery's getting low, thus remote start doesn't work.
But, easy enough to check. Fill your tank, and see if it works then.
No?

It works fine, when above 1/4 tank. Full, half, even just above 1/4, as soon as it goes below 1/4 , it just sits and spins.

REMOTE START LIMITATIONS

Remote start does not work under the following conditions:
  • The alarm horn is sounding.
  • The hood is open.
  • The transmission is not in park (P).
  • The ignition is on.
  • The battery voltage is below the minimum operating voltage.
  • Remote start is not enabled.
Note: Do not use remote start if the fuel level is low.

Still have over 100 until empty showing. No warning active.
Low fuel is not on the limitations list ,It says not to use it when low , not that you cant , but that you shouldn't ... BUT , if you parking in the EXACT same spot and phoned it in from the EXACT same spot and the ONLY difference is the fuel level (weather and funky cell service can tweak it also i believe) then that would be perplexing ...

I dug through the service manuals, no mention of fuel level, disabling Remote Start, the only thing I found was posted above: Note: Note: Do not use remote start if the fuel level is low.
A quick google search and it appears that the 1/4 tank is a limit of some kind, but no actual documentation of it in the manuals.

I don’t consider just under 1/4 tank, as being low on fuel. ?

Me either , but I would get it not working if it was low enough for the warning light to come on ... I would run it low then try everything from a different location...
