    I was getting into the habit of noting TA-Ex readings from my meter and combining these with the daily "usage" values shown on the website to arrive at a current running Export total. But just now I see that the display on the meter has changed. Instead of the TA-Im, TA-Ex, TOU 1 and TOU 2 displays I see the Octopus telephone number (!), MPAN number and various other in this case irrelevant info. I don't know if Octopus has done this or if I have inadvertently changed some setting. Can I do a reset and if so how?

    Abort the above comment. The meter display seems to have "recovered" from a temporary blip.

    It would be interesting to compare different versions of Tracker for the same day, and same region.

    Octopus are extremely good at maximising their profits. Or, as some might say, profiteering. Renationalisation of the entire power industry is long overdue

    Surely if they were maximising their profits and profiteering they wouldn't be selling electricity at less than the standard variable rate allowed by OFGEM?

    They are selling for less than they are allowed to but profiteering and maximising profits, are they really?

    They've said that both Tracker and Agile are loss making. That was before the Dec 2023 onwards changes.
