And apparently I've heard that standard Octopus Go cheap rate is dropping from 9p to 8.5p but also gaining an extra hour of cheap rate from 00:30 to 05:30.

Possibly to compete with British Gas which offers 5 hours cheap rate on its EV tariff.

That is so annoying when you forget to change a schedule.
I’ve had a couple of slots when I’ve been charging the batteries using peak electric, fortunately only 3-4 kWh this month.

If you realise in the same half hour slot it can often be rectified by requesting a charge session ASAP before the half hour slot ends, but in this case it had been importing for 2 hours and the time was exactly 21:30.
