Thanks, as always, for the heads up.
The amounts are getting less and less!

I’d do it for no points - based on peak rates the happy hour has been well worth it

I'm in for tonight!
Also, I received an email from Octopus CS regarding my missing day on the 14th. They can't fix it on the dashboard but they've credited me with the missing Octopoints. That'll do nicely.
(I'm currently sitting on five Happy Hours with two sessions still processing plus tonight, so I suspect I'm not going to be able to use them all in the time available.)

I should have started using mine sooner, I had not realised how many there would be this year.

I'm sitting on 4h plus another calculating/outstanding.
There are 5 weekends remaining, so can potentially use 10h. If I partake in 2 saving sessions per week for the remaining 5 weeks, I can earn another 5h, giving me 10h total to use over the 5 weekends. So I think I've worked that perfectly (I hope!)
The final week will require savings sessions early in the week in order to credit the free hour before the weekend, so would really need sessions Monday to Wednesday.

I take this back completely - I’ve been credited for my 1st 2x happy hours and they have under credited me by £1. So - if I’d used the energy during the normal low cost rate at night I would have spent about the same. No benefit to me at all.

but will you also be credited for your presumably missing 1/2 a happy hour?

Paged back to find this - not looking forward to the pain tbh. Easier to cut my losses and not waste time and effort on the happy hours.
