I guess the only problem with topping up in the 16:00-19:00 is ruining the baseline for future sessions.
Edit- Actually ignore that, I'm thinking of the other sessions

I'd like to see people not bother with it over the next 2 or 3 sessions, make them see it will not work unless they pay a decent return.

15 mins to go I was ready. Got side tracked, just remembered. Been charging my car for nearly 40 mins of the session. FML

The saving session calculator site is still up, but currently it shows results for last winter, not sure if it needs updating or its to early for this years results - seemed to remember it would calculate the baseline prior to the meter readings being available.

My batteries down to 21.7%, will I get through to 2am before hitting 10%? I think so, but the batteries are not going to get a full charge in the three hour cheap rate period, so it is going to have a knock on effect tomorrow with the current poor weather.
Edit: 13% SOC at 2am, they reached 82% by 5am

Yes, that column is pounds per MWh so divide it's value by a 1000, and you'll get the price per kWh.
Most likely not, not sure if Octopus can enter another bid or not, I also think they are trying to push the price up, so may not want to bid lower anyway.

I see there is another requirement tonight 4pm - 6pm, though most demand between 4pm and 5pm (500Mw the same as yesterday, whereas 5pm to 6pm is only 100Mw), wonder if Octopus will have any more luck or whether they'll stick with their high bids.

ooooo good to know I better shut my battery off just incase as otherwise it will be flat by 4pm (Mrs working from home and insists on extravagant luxuries like heating in my home office
(I use hot water bottle and electric blanket when I WFH because I am a tight northerner )
One interesting thing, if I'm reading the reports from previous sessions correctly (which I may not be), then out of the 500Mw requested they only got between 28Mw and 44Mw, the one exception is Wednesday (the only one Octopus have participated in), where they got 111Mw, so still below the stated requirement, but considerably better. Maybe that will help to push prices back up?

60p paid / kWh is about as low as I'd go to even bother though, if they get accepted and pay less I'd probably just sit it out

A lot of people aren't bothering even at 60p, I still bothered, but we still cooked dinner which was running late as I didn't tell the Mrs, and we still watched the news, last year we maximised export by minimising usage.
