Hi everyone.
My Polestar 2 arrived in October and I’ve been lurking here a bit since I ordered it!
I got a smart meter installed recently and moved onto Octopus Go. I have a few (nerdy) 🤓 questions that I hope someone might be able to help me with! Thanks in advance!
Has anyone on Octopus with a smart meter seen weird consumption data in their account? It thinks I used ~3.7kWh in half an hour at about 10pm yesterday. This is more than a 7kW average power draw for half an hour.

But we were just watching TV at this time, and didn't have any high-power appliances on. In fact we don't have anything that would use this much power other than our Andersen charger timed to come on at 00:35 to take advantage of the cheap Go tariff.
I went to bed at ~23.30 and the car charger wasn't on yet. The Konnect app for my charger showed it come on at the right time as scheduled.

So I’m a bit concerned that the smart meter is mis-reporting the energy usage for the time of day. I’ve checked that we have the right date and time set on the smart meter and the car charger. Anyone got any ideas what might explain this? e.g. can the smart meter sometimes delay sending data and put it in the wrong half-hour period?
