    No email here yet. But I'm working then, so house will be in it's normal state of darkness and silence! The only way I can reduce below my normal usage at this point is to actively export. As tomorrow's forecast is good, I'm tempted to shift a small amount from the batteries, but will think about it. 
    im running my acc and my mother, the 2 emails were about an hour apart so it should be on its way

    Wow I delayed the move to Lifestyle by 3 days and this is my award, what a last but one day, hopefully no glitches in my move.

    The bigger thing that stand outs to me is not that 4-7pm hits the cap, but rather we over 50p outside the peak hours.

    Octopus likely will never get reading from your last day - as they're slow and 1 day behing, so not sure what will they offer - SVR? So if it's your last day today - don't worry :D

    When I switched from Agile to Lifestyle my last 3 days were billed as SVR.

    Despite being an ultra low user I am now more than £300 ahead which compensates for the disappearance of the winter fuel allowance, lot of game to pursue with Octopus over the next few months, probably the best place to get various freebies at the moment due to their sheer size and excessive cashflow.

     Unless you not fussed ask them to  re-bill those last 3 days at your average rate during that period like they have done for some customers.

    My 3rd switch out from Octopus last year I didnt bother with negative hours on last day just did my normal usage, only the last day was charged at flexible rate.

    I take it that it isn't just me not seeing tomorrow's rates as yet? (Actually I just thought to check Octoprice and they aren't there yet, either, so it's almost certainly an issue at Octopus's end!)

    as we are hitting the 100p cap and the price on wholesale is almost £1000 MWh my question is if it wasnt for our cap right now how much would we be paying

    and update at 5.05pm wholesale price £1352, still protected with 100p cap
