Bizarre predbat behaviour - today, given the cheap Agile slots. Just updated to v8.34.16...
Bug, or something else?

rjp indeed not, I was away overnight last night, only just got back and have been looking at it

I can't work out why it is doing this, I suspect its related to the clock change as predbat is logging that the charge rate window is +99 to -99 (which is the rate search defaults and should never happen). I've just posted a hack to circumvent this. Hopefully it will cure itself tomorrow when the next Octopus data comes down.

Strangely mine (on Octopus Cosy) is working fine.....

Lots of further diagnosis from yours truly on that github issue. It is definitely a new bug. Have developed a couple of workarounds (see github), and believe that this will clear itself at midnight tonight - its the gap in times/timezone change in the energy rate sensor that is causing problems with predbat not charging - for some (a few) people.

Weird one
