    Personally, I'd wait a couple of days to see if there is a new Tracker released and then decide.
    You think they'll launch a new Tracker with lower caps than July v1?
    Who knows, but there is no risk either way as there are no exit fees, so can call and start the process of fixing the tariff change error now and then jump later if there is a better alternative.

    It's sad if they retiring TOU tariffs, but Agile is listed there as well and the signup page for it is still online.  I am hoping its temporary.
    Octopus has history here. They often appear to withdraw a t-o-u tariff before they issue a new version. My guess is that the EPG has added a big complication to such things as the internal tariff cap.
    The more experimental (and/or complicated and confusing) TOU tariffs may also be deliberately kept separate from the standard tariffs page too.

    All the tariffs appear on the list at https://octopus.energy/tariffs/
    They may not appear on the tariff change page in your account, or if you ask for a quote from the link above but you can always see them in the main tariff list by just entering your post code, if they are available...

    Sorry, I meant they (Octopus) may have moved them (Tracker and Agile) from that page deliberately, as they are unusual tariffs, especially as the unit rates displayed in standard format could confuse laypersons.

    This error...
    Just a quick question. Joined Octopus at the start of September and was on the Gas tracker rate. However Octopus were using the gas meter serial number for the old meter and not the smart meter.
    I sent them photos and a few days ago the changed this over on my account. However my gas account is now showing Flexible Octopus April 2022 v1.

    Is it worth asking to switch back to the Gas tracker that I was on?

    No, they don't do that, and didn't in this case either, they can be found on the 'Historical Tariff' tab where all the old tariffs go when they are no longer current.
    What they have done which is a little confusing is they have updated the labelling on all the tariffs, to mention the EPG discount even if the discount did not affect the particular tariff...

    The 'Go' tariffs were not altered as they are below the cap already, so there was no discount...

    I'll be *very* happy for Octopus to prove me wrong, but I suspect we won't see another offering of Tracker or Agile until the EPG scheme ends.

    Has anyone ended or will be soon coming to the end of their Tracker tariff since the EPG came into effect.  It will be interesting to see what Octopus are offering if a current Tracker isn't available.

    Is Agile on the Historical tariffs page?
    It isn't showing for me.

    I suspect Tracker may take a break, but I think they will keep Agile (or a version of it), to encourage load shifting
