Going straight to the point.
The Percy Jackson Gods were upgraded to High 4-C via being said to have created constellations in the past. However, this ignores the verse's cosmology, which is based on a "reality is what you think it is" system. The Ancient Greeks used to believe the Earth was flat back then, with the sky and stars being capped in a dome right above the Earth, which means the feat is nowhere near tier 4.
After reality changed to the Round Earth model to suit's people beliefs, we never saw them doing stuff like this again, aside from Artemis's feat.
As explained by Apollo:
> But how does it work?" Nico asked. "I thought the sun was a big fiery ball of gas!"
> Apollo chuckled and ruffled Nico's hair. "That rumor probably got started because Artemis used to call me a big fiery ball of gas. Seriously, kid, it depends on whether you're talking astronomy or philosophy. You want to talk astronomy? Bah, what fun is that? You want to talk about how humans think about the sun? Ah, now that's more interesting. They've got a lot riding on the sun… er, so to speak. It keeps them warm, grows their crops, powers engines, makes everything look, well, sunnier. This chariot is built out of human dreams about the sun, kid. It's as old as Western Civilization. Every day, it drives across the sky from east to west, lighting up all those puny little mortal lives. The chariot is a manifestation of the sun's power, the way mortals perceive it. Make sense?"
Also, that supporting feat of Zeus becoming the planet Jupiter is an obvious embellishment. Apollo doesn't literally turn into the Sun while driving the Sun Chariot.
