    5Wh is virtually nothing. The cash sum displayed must have included the  SC.

    Looking at mine its fine, its just standing charges on top i think. Looking at my 24 hour between 12-9am it just over or a chunk below 0.05. so not even getting to 0.1.

    I use more or less 1 kWh from 12 to 9 am which equates to about 17pence  on Octopus Agile which charges a half hour rate for each segment..There are a few things on all night such as fridge and freezer modum and a few other little things which all add up .I use a little less if I switch the Plasma telly off standby as that uses 15 watts an hour . Microwave screen uses 2 or 3 watts an hour . No standing charges added ..I use roughly 4 kwhs a day in summer
