Flux is working well for me now too. We only got on it on 21st July last year, but had half of the panels and no force export as the firmware wasn't ready.
April electricity was -£64.01 and gas was £42.24 so the overall energy bill was -£21.77.
7 days into May and we're at approximately -£17 for both already!
It's not quite as good as last year as the price cap has dropped and the standing charge gone up, but I'm hoping we build up enough credit to get well into the Autumn/winter without paying anything.

It worked very well for me, I've been on it since April 2023. I stayed on Flux through the winter, but there would have been cheaper options.
As you say prices reducing has decreased total export value, especially as export has reduced more than import costs.

I am switching today to Intelligent flux. Going to try it out, I think the gains over the summer will offset the 13p increase in standing charges. In theory 1 peak unit exported covers it per day.
I based it on this
Electricity 8 APR 2024 - 7 MAY 2024
267.55 kWh We credited your account £40.13 £820.40
Electricity 8 APR 2024 - 7 MAY 2024101.39 kWh We charged your account £16.89 £780.27
Not really imported much and those 100 units were basically just gaming agile when it was negative, most of the cost is standing charges.
