I was in the eon next v18, I sent them a message on twitter and within half an hour they have moved me on to the next flex tariff. I’m actually impressed how quickly and easily it was done considering they must be swamped right now. 

That's maybe because they knew this info in advancem.

My new fix is with Eon is Next Online v20 on October. I'll wait for more news since exit fee should be free but got worried as today is my 14th day cooling period.

If it doesn't start until October then just stay on it, they can't charge you more than the SVT (apparently)

They might even automatically move you across if it ends before the 2 year period.

I don't know if I'm being a bit slow here, but what exactly is capped at £2,500?  Clearly, you can't use an infinite amount of energy and still only pay £2,500.

The total annual bill of a geographically unspecified typical user of 12000kWh gas and 2900kWh electricity.

Yeah my fix was basically at the October cap already, so by moving now I'm saving on paying it for the next three weeks.  They were never going to reduce a cap by an amount that would take it below the government cap.  

So if your currently paying more than the current cap on your fix may as well move now and take 3 weeks of saving and take the fact you've overpaid for a while on the chin as that ain't coming back. As usual the people who are too ignorant or heads in the sand to care get bailed out and us who try to do the sensible things get screwed.

I see that the SRv21 has now been pulled.  When I look at my tariff options now I only see the standard variable one at £156 a month.  That compares to my chosen SRv20 for which I'll pay just under £300 from Oct.  SRv21 would have been £334.
