I've had something similar with the Energy saving events they were running earlier in the year. More recent events calculating before the previous ones. It all seems a bit hit and miss!!QrizB said:My account has updated.Weirdly, I've now got my earnings for the session on the 9th but not for the one on the 2nd, which is still showing as "calculating"!0 -
my first two sessions are in now. A life changing 75p. This industry is horrific.

Happy with my £13.91 for the 2 sessions, especially as we had a power cut.2

If 75p is less than 1%, I'd like to know how you spent over £75 on electricity in two 5-hour sessions!satanloans said:my first two sessions are in now. A life changing 75p. This industry is horrific.

£75 would be ~300 kWh, so you'd need to be drawing 30kW continuously - which is 125A at 240V.N. Hampshire, he/him. Octopus Intelligent Go elec & Tracker gas / Vodafone BB / iD mobile.

overall spend, jeez. Hence me saying the industry is horrific. They're acting like they are truly helping with some woohoos and yeehaws. While I yawn. I think I am gonna uninstall the app and forget about this nonsense.QrizB said:

Barring those who have discovered they are being paid at a lower rate than they are paying due to oddities like E7, I'm struggling to understand the disappointment.You get paid based on what you use multiplied by your unit price. Up to a max of £25 over the month.I'm up to £3.48 and that's fine because I've only used 13.5 kWh across the two sessions (about 20% of my usage over the 2 weeks). I'd rather have that money than not. The energy would have been used either way.5

And there's me happy with our £2.65

I read the terms, knew what I was agreeing to, it's free money (and in fact a bit of free extra money because they're paying at a higher rate than Agile costs us), I'll happily take it.3 -
I’ve had about £2, but it’s money back for stuff I would have done anyway - if someone wants to refund me the cost of doing my washing etc, then they’re very welcome to!🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

My third session will be this afternoon. My first, from the 2nd, is *still* calculating but the second session on the 9th earned me £1.83.Today is likely to be similar.N. Hampshire, he/him.
