I've got a whole day of electricity readings missing. The first time anything from electricity has missed and it's exactly the whole day... 27 October. How odd and how annoying.

Just contacted them on twitter and it's been pulled and already showing. Now just hope it's not too late for the bill.

Is it a fact that you will lose out as a result of the missing data, or might it be that the substitute data is more favourable for you?

He probably wont know unless he has access to the mysterious smoothing formula they use.

I can only speak for myself but the pink bar being missing for two days in the Octopus app was a bit of a clue for me.

Yes and yes. 

la531983 this is what your reply was when i asked last month.

As you and others have now pointed out i am not able to get the bonus as i am already a customer of Octopus.

Thank you all for taking the time to answer my questions.

Right I must have misread it, apologies.

For someone without working smart meters who is on the tracker does anyone have any insight as to if there is an optimal time/frequency of providing manual readings to get the most from the tariff? (without doing them every day obviously!) At the moment I send them readings on the 10th, 20th and last day of the month and I think they just average it out. Anyone doing anything better/different?

Do they bill you immediately after you give a reading (so every 10 days) or is it still monthly?

Get a bill usually a day or 2 after the reading

Suppose all you can really do then is make sure after a period of cheap rates send a reading in straight away, so they cant "smooth" it to their advantage to assign more to the more expensive days.

Yes good tip - thanks!

The return of light winds, frost and fog towards the weekend could test the resolve of some tracker and Agile users as daily rates surge near or even above SVT.

Down half a penny into the 18p range here tomorrow (Saturday)....

No sign of big increase so far. Glad to be wrong 😁
