It's amazing how those with a can-do attitude and willingness to 'pitch in and work' get all the luck, isn't it?
Please consider buying some pet food and giving it to your local food bank collection or animal charity. Animals aren't to blame for the cost of living crisis.
I have no idea why you are seeing what you are seeing but it is nothing to be worried about. If you want to see daily usage and costs* then I suggest that you download and sign up to the free app BRIGHT.
FWiW, my IHD has, in 4 years, never shown the daily standing charge for gas even though I can see that the correct tariff has been sent to each of the smart meters.
* Gas costs shown on your IHD and in BRIGHT will never exactly match those shown on your bill. Devices have to use a fixed calorific value whereas actual billing is based on the average calorific value of the gas supplied during the billing period.
one thing to understand tho is that its not 'live'. the app updates i think once a day early in the morning so shows you your use yesterday. you can get smart plugs or use the ihd for actual use if you want to spot check (just ignore the pounds and pence).

In the meantime surely I should be able to see gas usage on the small hand-held monitor? But I am unable to do so.
