    Ok a couple of things different to mine.
    Your 'feed-in grid' is enabled, mine is disabled. 
    And your 'reactive power' is at 100%, mine is 60%.
    Although I'm not sure those settings would cause the issues your having ??

    My feed in grid is enabled and raecative power at 50% with new firmware seems to be behaving as normal

    Actually, I think I might have disabled mine myself as we don't need it.

    My understanding of the feed-in option was it's for allowing a forced discharge to the grid, though I could be wrong as it's not something I've ever needed to use.

    Yeah, I'm guessing the servers were down for maintenance or something.
    Good of them to let us know though.  :p
    You could still have connected with app in local connect mode by the way.

    So I finally got smart meter connected last week, and today got an email that octopus can see the meters, great, so now switched to go.

    So for the first time, I want to set up the NEW PARALLEL lux to charge up overnight.

    So my question is which of these settings have I done wrong?
    As I'm reading it as two different settings, both setting the charge rate.
