Octopus have already said it’s that small minority are the reason the cap has been introduced. So yes, they are to blame.

Prhaps it's suddenly dawned on them now that it's summer and most of the excess generation is in the mid afternoon, these changes make no sense at all. If anything it's a benefit to them to allow a charge...

Mind you, with their current iOG pricing, I'm surprised there is much demand for it, oerhaps saved by the likes of EON having a limited number of cars / chargers and frankly abysmal zero api access.

The 6 hour cap does not limit charging to the overnight off-peak period, so I'm not sure why you might think excess daytime energy availability might have caused a deliberate delay to its launch.

I have the Ohme app and I'm assuming if I keep setting on Dynamic Charging then all will stay the same , and never incur the more expensive charging rate.? Had an EV for just shy of 2 years now and after initial layout been brilliant.

Dynamic charging is irrelevant. The Ohme app will be updated with a toggle switch so if you want more than 6 hours charging, you can choose for the total charging to cut off at 6 hours or continue charging after 6 hours at the peak rate.

I will have Octopus Charge installed on 3 September. I will sign up for Intelligent Octopus Go.

My son and I share my car. He works at night. He takes the car seven days a week at 21:30 and returns it to my house at 06:30. I take the car out myself for walks during the day in a window between 09:00 and 15:00.

Can I just plug the car in when I am at home without setting a schedule and without incurring a peak rate charge? Our annual mileage is 6,000.

I'm still getting coming soon in Octopus app

Only tend to charge 20 to 40% at a time, mostly on Greener days. Which ends this month.

Originally I would have said this wasn't going to work for you as it is designed as an overnight tariff and you are unable to ever plugin overnight, but…

Right now, with the changes being rolled out there has been a significant alteration in the ability to set a departure time outside of the original 04:00-11:00 window so it could still work, but it is unclear if this is an intended change or just a bug that has not yet been fixed…
