Does your Agile R&D always choose the right charge slots?

New to agile... I've setup what I think is a regular charge event, 00:00-06:00 window, choosing 6 half hour slots because "The algorithm will choose the best half-hour intervals with the lowest Agile Import rates to charge the battery in time-order."

But looking at my data it's not always choosing the best slots in the window. For example:

02:00:00-02:30:00 :: Rate £0.1932/kWh :: 1.394 kWh Charge
01:30:00-02:00:00 :: Rate £0.1918/kWh :: 0.004 kWh Charge

The algorithm doesn't seem that great based on this data... The other slots do seem to be lowest price though.
I know I'm arguing about tiny nuances in price here 🙂 ... just wondering what others experiences are and if I've done things right....

Can't say that I have used it myself, I do it all manually via the portal. The times and charge put in does seem a little odd though.

Most days its fine, it chooses the best (cheapest) 6 half-hour slots within the 6 hour window I have opted for to charge between 00:00-06:00 - giving me a 3 hour charge. Just every now and then it makes an odd decision.
