Thanks everyone, something unusual going on it seems. Auto-renewing connections would seem to go against the principles of open banking I would have thought.

There is supposed to be the capability to auto-renew. The connections I set up were open-ended, so I was always slightly perplexed as to why I had to keep renewing them. I'm glad to see it is only a few that need renewing now.

Wasn't aware these connections could be open-ended. It would seem then, this is a feature previously not operating as intended.

YouGov's login code email is usually very reliable and the fastest in the business, virtually instant. Spam folder? Correct email address?

Checked those, it just stopped working early November.  No communication from Yougov.  Feels like there is nothing I can do but wait and hope they get back to me.  Otherwise, what a waste of time filling in those surveys.

Do you still get the emails offering surveys?

Not since my last login but I have had two emails offering bonus points for sharing data.  I had successfully been sharing data for Amazon shopping, Amazon Prime video and Steam.  

I missed the boat on the bank sharing, I only signed up in June this year.

Last time I had similar issue, I was blacklisted for picking wrong answers on surveys (their trap for catching people doing surveys without paying enough attention). It took a couple of communications to reinstate my account. Hope you are not in the same situation.

I definitely didn't select the wrong answer on the attention check questions but I did answer the surveys much faster than the expected times given by yougov.  I find it easy to read the question and pick an answer quickly and loads of the questions were not relevant to me.  Maybe they think I am a bot or giving poor answers.

Four of my banking connections have been automatically renewed today. 

They now show “since 3 Dec” instead of x days remaining.
I had an email earlier this week to renew one account that had 5 days remaining, which I did, whilst the other 4 were down to 3 days, but renewing wasn’t possible, as the renew button was greyed out.
anyone seeing similar?

Yup

I have 9. One of them, Lloyds, offered the renew button which I used 3 days ago and now shows 87 days remaining. The other 8 never gave me the renew option even though 6 of them were previously renewed at the same time as Lloyds. Those 6 rolled over today and seem to have renewed automatically with no authorisation by me

The first, Lloyds, now shows Active 87 days remaining. The other 6 show Active Since 3 Dec 2025 and the final 2 Active 1 day remaining with no renew option

One ray of hope is I closed a Barclaycard a month ago, showing as Settled by the CRAs, and that's one of the 6 showing still active. I doubt that would have survived a manual renew

Confused? Yes

Curiouser and curiouser

5 of the 6 decided they weren't active or renewed after all, turned bright red and belatedly offered the renew button. The final 2 with 1 day remaining (as they have been since Monday) still have no renew

Sadly my cancelled Barclaycard is still showing as active, has not offered renew, and I think it's a dead man walking

It all seems a bit chaotic but has (nearly) got there with no unauthorised renewal

Since Sainsburys Bank closed, I lost the connection to the credit card. I was hoping on renewing my Natwest account I could re-add the card to go back up to 10 but no go. Website message was I could not renew as already had 3 accounts connected ...
