    My gas smart meter stopped working in the cold snap pre Christmas.  I too have only paid the standing charge for gas since then.  I was with Bulb, taken over by Octopus.   I have the same problem, I can’t see the gas usage when I physically access the meter, they can’t see the gas usage.  Despite the now four month long exchange; I’m told it’ll still be sometime before an engineer can come out.  They ought to compensate me for the stress of it all.

    You’ll find it’s not a choice, just like some can’t choose to not have empathy or are insensitive.

    Stress is a choice

    Myth. Stress is a product of the subconscious beliefs we hold about our world. To learn about stress, we need to challenge those beliefs so that we can reframe them differently.

    Have you contacted your supplier. That's the first step. Do you know when you were last charged for the supply?
