    Well there's been a mad dash for the exit on Tracker from what I can see, with many people coming to the end of their fixed term this week.

    looking at the next 24hrs pricing i'm now happy i've jumped onto 16mth fix
    i wonder how many have moved away from agile and could this be the begining of the end of it

    I have just moved from Agile onto the 16 month fix.

    I lost my historical data under Octopus/MyAccount/MyEnergy when I switched to another provider for my electricity, do you lose it if you stay with Octopus but switch to another Octopus tariff such as cosy? 
    In a sample where n=1, no, we didn't lose anything (Tracker to Cosy).

    I messaged Octopus to put me on the 16m fix from gas tracker.  I got a very quick response that it was done and an email, but it appears the effective date on the email is 15th Feb, which is when my tracker tariff officially ends.

    It's above SVT all day yet the 4-7 peak isn't as bad as it it has been. Don't understand that either?

    As previously mentioned, I'm looking forward to a period of not caring what time we do things. Mostly me that, rest of the family did as they pleased  :D

    I left a few days ago. 
    PPI success. Banding success. Double Dip PCN cancelled! South facing solar (Midlands) and battery. Savings Session supporter (is it worth it now!?)

    I'm sticking with it , signed up to Agile in July & had a good run, even Jan bill was only 20.5p average.  It's a bit tight at the mo but i didn't sign up expecting every month to be easy,  though a few good days towards the end of Feb & all this will be forgotten.
    No solar or batteries to worry about fortunately but a well stocked log store of free wood does help.

    I'm sticking too for now - Jan bill was 13.08p average. I'm expecting the next one to be higher, but I don't think I can get a really good feel for whether it's working until I have more data - and I moved in October, which probably isn't the best time for it. 

    I'm sure there will gradually be more TOU tariffs to choose from, but it'll also get harder to work out what the best option is, as the load shifting makes comparison difficult.
