EDF 1yr April 25 tariff

It was advertised that this would be withdrawn by EDF at 4pm today.  However, I was just in my account trying to change over to this tariff and it was available but as I tried to change, it got removed!! So I presume it’s now no longer available and they’ve withdrawn it earlier than agreed??
The only fixed tariff now available to me is a 2yr tariff that’s barely cheaper than the new price cap and £250 to get out of early!!  
Not so helpful if you’re not sure if prices are likely to rise or fall. If I thought they might be likely to rise, I’d probably lock in this tariff but it’s a lot of money to get out of it should prices fall

    You could complain to EDF, tariff not available to you when it was still at time of this post available to new customers via EDF quote page.

    Wholesale prices are not exactly romping upwards - a bit higher today but only after sharp falls earlier in the week. It might just be that another fix appears with broadly the same - or possibly even better - prices.

    Essentials 1 Year Apr25 v3 is now available, rates are marginally higher for me in Southern Scotland compared to the version I moved to three days ago.

    It is cheaper than the 2 year fix.

    Just seen this one. Showing £4 more for me on the 1yr but £4 less than the 2 year. My 49 period where the fees will be waived is next week.

    Tempted by the 2 year or just wait until the end of May to see if anything better comes out but I'm doubting it.
