Just put my dinner on to cook.

Yep we had our showers and cooked tea all between 6 and 7, which was a challenge, but hey

Am I missing something?  You’re supposed to try and use less electricity than you normally do during the saving sessions.

The incentive is no longer there ! It now costs us to help fill pockets

How, exactly, does it cost you? I'm curious.

And who exactly do you think is filing their pockets, come to that?

That still doesn’t explain why you tried to use as much electricity as possible during the saving session.

Rejected @150 today

My point was I'm ignoring it and just going about normal life as the pain does not match the reward.

for 2p for each session just isnt worth it, maybe starting point £1

I'm hoping we get a bonus for signing up to all the sessions, but I'm not holding my breath!

I assume that some people have decided to protest about the amounts now being offered by savings sessions by instead opting to use more energy than they usually would that those times... 

Maybe protest is a bit strong.
Simply deciding to not bother, as OK you are saving a bit off your bill (not counting the uploaders here) But a bonus 2p in octopoints is not exactly something of incentive to keep interest in these sessions.🤷‍♀️

I agree with this, I am signing up to the sessions, but in general I am in no way incentivised by a few pence. On some of tests last year and the year before I could go to the pub for an hour, have a couple of pints and still be better off when I got home, now with the shift in the window and the very low rate offered for reduction even if I turned everything off on the consumer unit I would be lucky to make more than a few pence. I just carry on as normal and if I make a bit because I accidentally use a bit less then great, but otherwise I am not bothered. 

That's a bit if an exaggeration given the price of pints, plural lol but I get the sentiment.

Even if we don't get paid as much as last year are we not overall saving the grid money (our money) by them not having to buy energy in on the interconnects at some ridiculous price?

Yes it's a shame we can all have more.
