Good question I didn't look at the battery percent rating so I used the GOM on the Ford Pass app.
Cold Weather Test
We took a trip to Sioux Falls this last weekend. We stayed at a friend's house overnight so the Truck was parked outside without being plugged in. We arrived at 6 PM and we departed the next morning at 8 AM. Outside temperature was 0F and very little wind. During the night the truck used 32 miles of range due to the cold. Next cold test I plan to plug into a simple 120v outlet and see how my range is affected. I see now why the truck tells you to plug in when it is cold outside.

The GOM places the range at about 30% less when this cold, which seemed pretty accurate based on miles driven and battery percent indicated. The trip energy meter put us at 1.4mi/kWh vs a normal of 2.1 mi/kWh. Cabin energy used was at 11%, Ext energy was 12% and Acc energy was at 2%. Incidentally I set cruise at the speed limit except in South Dakota. I kept my speed on Interstate 90 at 70 mph vs 80 mph.Once you were on the road, how was your range in the cold weather?
I will pay attention on our next trip. I believe the battery % did go down but the amount at this point would be a guess.It is likely your battery SOC didn't change and what you are seeing is an updated range based on temperature.
