Why has flexible octopus gone up today?

Krakkkers

Just logged in today to see a huge rise in standing charges.

Because it is July.

The OP mentioned standing charges, which didn't do that.

Must be another reason, maybe just guessing O/P lives within a region that boarders another region just switched from Eon Next where O/P was paying a lower region SC.

Ultimately most of us know Flexible Octopus price changes occurred on 1 July not 10th

"Huge rise" in SC does seem odd without something to clarify it

Out of curiosity how do you know you got a "huge rise today"? 
I could only think either they emailed you (but I didn't get this from them) or you check your tariff figures each morning?

I check my account every day as i assume others do.

Hmm I wonder if I'm abnormal then. I most certainly don't check every day. I'll check maybe once per month to see if what I was billed for matches the readings I gave.

I'm on a tariff that changes every day (Tracker) but with things fairly stable right now I'm not even checking every day.  Once or twice a week on average, at the moment.
If I were on flexible or a fix though it would just be checking once a month that the bill and everything else is correct.
