Octopus Saving Session

I haven't read every post in this thread, but have got the impression that at least two of the posters are managing to calculate their savings and agree with Octopus's calculation (possibly only with the more recent sessions).

My calculations are still coming up with figures that don't quite agree (3% difference on the latest session) and am puzzled.  I'm wondering whether there is something different about my situation.

For example, do either/any of the people who can match Octopus's calculations have solar and hence some export?

I have solar and can match the calculation of the latest sessions. The calculation seems to be based purely on import, so a period where there is net export would be treated as 0 in the calculation.

Thank you.  Ignoring export I can get to within 7 Octopoints on the latest 2 sessions - close enough for me to be happy!  The first session is 160 Octopoints out and the 2nd session is 120 out in the other direction.  So I'm going to stop worrying!

Nope, no export for me!

I missed the last two sessions on the 1st and 12th because I didn't read my emails for a few days. I'm sure I could have saved a lot on the first session as I was out during the whole of the session and maybe only a fraction in the second because I was in using the PC during the second session.

There is now a button on the Octopoints page to redeem your balance as account credit.

Looks like we might get another saving session tomorrow.

This is an indication that a DFS Service Requirement might be published today at 14:30. This will be System Tagged.

Will be 5:30 - 6:30pm tomorrow, but Octopus may be excluded from it:

Looking at the National Grid ESO data portal https://data.nationalgrideso.com/dfs/demand-flexibility-service-test-events , it looks like Octopus will be taking part tomorrow, so await an announcement.

Octopus aren't listed as a provider for tomorrow, so I don't think they'll be included.
