Ugh just had to switch Intelligent Octopus off..

I just came back from a long trip down to 10% and plugged in as I normally would. Octopus selected a 10 hour charge - 4 hours at peak rate with no option to reduce it. Nice little earner for them.. Luckily I saw the news on social media.. many customers wouldn't.

So I've had to switch it off and set manual schedules overnight as I just can't trust it, or indeed even begin to calculate what it cost me if I let Octopus control it.
