Octopus Energy, including Intelligent and go

Correct, and it normally does stop the charge for me except this time it didn't. I disabled charge scheduling when I moved to IO and it has been reliable. Doesn't enabling schedule charging stop the random charges that octopus may decide to do on the car during peak hours? That was a perceived benefit for me as if I got a couple of half hours at the lower rate through the day every now and again it's money saved.
Might have to go back to the FAQ and read on it again...
See @Skie 's explanation,seem sensible. Off peak charge means the car won't start the charge during the day, but will always listen to IO's instructions, even if those are peak hours.
I have an Easee. Currently on IO. If on IO leave the Easee as a dumb charger so IO can pull whenever it wants.
If on Go, just set schedule on the Easee and it will give charge to the car within them times.

That’s interesting but yes, I do prefer to be able to charge the car from solar or from the solar-filled powerwalls in the summer…
Anyone else finding IO doesn't charge to 100%? It's not often I need to charge to 100% but when I do I always find it stops charging at around 97-98%. I know from seeing the schedule that there isn't enough time for it to reach 100%. Usually I manually charge it in those instances but bit annoying IO can't do it.

Intelligent Octopus app Devices settings on Android still has that annoying bug where you can't select 11:00 if time scroller starts on any HH:30 value. To work around that, select 10:00 first, then scroll the hour value 10 to 11:00.

I'm still trying to piece together IO - I'm only a week in.
For a couple of nights it seems to have worked. But take tonight. I plugged in at 6.30pm and immediately went to the app to stop the charge.
I check at 8.30pm and it has added 10kW during the peak hours.
I'm not ruling out messing something up, but any help would be welome.

This does my nut in. I cannot fathom how Android users get these amazing schedules right through the day. You would think it's entirely server driven, but there's a definite difference between Android and iOS in this regard.I am

I was going to say correlation does not equal causation, but realised I was wrong.
Android user won’t pay for an iPhone or a wall charger. Cheap electric most of the day is their reward

British energy supplier Octopus to pay customers to save power this winter
British energy supplier Octopus is launching a scheme to pay customers not to use electricity during times of high power demand to help prevent blackouts this winter, it said on Friday.
I do shop at Tesco's at least. (Free charging there still)I was going to say correlation does not equal causation, but realised I was wrong.
