    'We couldn't get your meter readings, so instead we've credited you the average Free Electricity used for that session.'

    Wow. My smart meters are working fine..... Will give it a day or two to see if this is just a bug before I raise my complaint.

    They have mostly fixed it now. It tells me the right credit amount but now in the main display it's suggesting they are paying me £1 per kWh. Clearly another bug. £100k of free elec used in first session.

    I decided it's not worth the effort of planning the day around staying in eagerly watching the clock, to run the dishwasher, washing machine, etc., all for pennies.
