Octopus saving sessions

Oh well another 16 points or 2p...

Wonder if this is just the base rate they are paying. As the last 8 sessions have been 0.15 kWh. Which is just me sat without a max 10 low power led lights off for the period, as that is all I can cut down on. Short of turning off TV Mrs is watching... No hope of doing that 😶‍🌫️

I'm getting the same.16 points for 9 sessions in a row. For some of them I wasn't even home so nothing left on (just a fridge freezer and oven and microwave with digital displays + boiler but heating was turned off so boiler didn't fire up). When I was home during the session I had lights on, heating etc but the rewards were exactly the same.
I'd love to know how they calculate the energy saved...

I have now passed the £1 mark for this year's Octopus points. Including savings sessions and monthly spins. 

I make bigger savings from being on Agile.

That said, I still mostly opt in to the Savings Sessions. But the most recent session I forgot to share that I'd opted in. So instead of 2p, I got the red thumbs down. 

As my load at peak times varies during the week due to children's activities, it would be helpful to have some information on my "baseline" usage that is being used to calculate the savings. Then I'd know ahead the likelihood of making actual savings. I know the guidance, but with the recent run of sessions I have lost track of which days would be used to calculate the baseline.

There's an online app thingy to give you an idea from previous sessions - https://savingsessions.streamlit.app/

May not be 100% accurate but it's been close enough, for me

Strange DFS web site says 1700-1800, did they say how much I can’t find it?
