I was looking at today's energy usage on my Octopus app and the gas use chart looks like this:
That's -2kWh of gas used in the most recent 30-minute slot, which I think is a first for me 😂
Had anyone else seen anything like this?

    Only thing I can suggest is an un-trapped error code from the meter.

    See how the daily total works out ...

    Bearing in mind when you contacted them about your earlier woes, it is probably using the gas stored in the  pipework 😎
