    Very useful to know. I m knocking on in years now and trying to work out how long it takes to get the approx £12k outlay  back and it starts paying its way before I  K.t B.  .

    My wife decided to have the oven and induction hob on last night, just after 6pm. She just looked at me when I suggested delaying for an hour, so I left it. I know when to pick my battles, and its not over £1. :smiley:

    Octo-Aid is predicting a 27Wh saving, 5p worth of Octopoints :)
    I know Octopus like to portray themselves as light-hearted, but is there really the need for this level sarcasm?

    "Amazing effort, well done!"




    :)

    I got the same :D  They still paid me for my export tho, £16 for both sessions.   Very happy with that!

    I'm assuming that bit is broken. The 0% bit. 

    Maybe it works if you cut down usage, but perhaps not if you usually export and exported more than usual?

    Or is it broken for everyone? 
    PPI success. Banding success. Double Dip PCN cancelled! South facing solar (Midlands) and battery. Savings Session supporter (is it worth it now!?)

    No, it works for those of use who don't export. It seems it only takes into account the import data, which presumably is 0 for you for baseline and the session.

  • No new sessions yet but I’m going to save more with a free pastie to go with the free coffee at Greggs via Octoplus than the last session anyway. 🤗

    it it was two tests a month last year, so maybe it’ll be March for the next one?

    Anyone get the 100 bonus points yet from the last session (8/2/24)?
    Promised via Whats App if that was second or more session in a row- streak bonus.

    I've not missed a session and I haven't had a bonus for either of the last two session.
  • Meanwhile another sausage roll and coffee for free.
