Octopus Tracker

A bit silly/annoying that Octopus have cleared all usage history under "My Energy" so it starts from scratch on 15th Feb. Do they do this every quarter for people on SVT, or is it only when the tariff name changes rather than just the price?

That's a bit rubbish. The full history is still available via the app, so it is only the website that has this problem (and clearly the API feeding Octopus Compare and other tools is unaffected). I wouldn't have known this also affects me if it wasn't for your post.

Only a very small reduction here for Sun vs Sat, but the potential to dry the laundry outside today vs rain forecast for tomorrow so I opted for today (cue glorious sunshine tomorrow).

If we accept that we are currently experiencing a period of low to normal prices, has any one got any evidence of how in the Agile vs Tracker debate both tariffs compare when prices are "normal to high"? With / without load shifting etc.

I m still watching the differences on Octopus Compare and without any effort at all to  load shift at all it's been  slightly cheaper on Agile over Tracker .I m going to move to Agile because for me I can easily load shift the expensive period from 4 pm to 7 pm as the nights pull out  and make a bigger difference through Spring and Summer Autumn and maybe return to Tracker in November  I am in one of the cheapest areas in Yorkshire where the electric rise is around 2 p kWh .

Data is still there if you set custom date range.

For me it wouldn't even let me choose an earlier date using the date picker, but I don't normally use the website anyway so I'm not bothered.

I had a quick google. All I can say is make sure you're sitting down if you do likewise! Though the potential cost saving is impressive, so it would pay for itself over time. I just wish I had the space.
