Thank you, the ceiling does sound interesting, but I couldn't find any mention of it yet? Do you know how long the ceiling might apply till? Are you already on it - I'll have to wait for an invitation.

See the Tracker FAQ:

If wholesale prices go up, am I stuck on the Octopus Tracker paying a higher price?

No, if you ever want to come off the Octopus Tracker, just email hello@octopus.energy and we will move you to one of our other tariffs right away, alternatively you can switch directly in your online account. Additionally, we have introduced a maximum cap on Tracker prices at 55p / kWh of electricity and 16p / kWh for gas

Tracker is a 12-month deal so you'll keep whatever ceiling you sign up to for 12 months.

Currently, the usual way to join Tracker is to drop Octopus Customer Services an email at hello@ and then ask to switch.

There's a Tracker thread on the forum here:

It got quite busy in July but has quietened down a bit now.
