Octopus Tracker - Gas

So my gas tracker tariff used to say it tracks the wholesale price 

Today it says it's a dynamic rate instead? Which means it costs near 15p/kWh vs under 6p yesterday

Has anyone else noticed this? Or is it a bit of a blip on their end?

    Actually never mind. I saw some of the other threads here 

    I was thinking "ah sh*t" for no reason 
  • It is a blip. The correct price is now showing in My Account. Tracker Gas has also become a smart meter tariff so this may be the result of changes going on in the background. For example, Octopus bills its time-of-use tariffs on 30 minute usage data not index readings. There is no reason why Tracker Gas couldn’t be billed this way.

    My Tracker Gas price is 5.27p/kWh.
