I also received the reconnect email this morning. I’m tempted to not bother and see what happens, tonight…
Nothings changed with the car, and I can still see it on the Tesla app. If I try to reconnect without removing the car then readding, I get a message that Octopus can't find the car in my Tesla app. It's all very weird
This is why I'm going to change to just regular Agile when my Go Faster expires on the 25th. I work from home; I don't use my car daily for work travel & my daytime use is relatively high. So I charge my car less than many & certainly not enough for IO to make up the difference overnight with the very high daytime rate.
It will be a bit more messing around but I'm intending to use my podpoint scheduler (or perhaps look at other apps) to charge in the cheaper overnight periods of Agile. For instance, the average price tomorrow morning from 01:30 to 05:30 is 10.75p. If I can be bothered to set schedules for multiple days, I could even just do 90 minutes of charging for 9p to maximise the savings. Obviously with Agile, the values and times change daily, so if I need to charge I'll just have to remember to set my schedule when I plug in. I usually don't charge more than once per week, but if I can pick & choose the low points on Agile, I'll probably leave my car plugged in & just set it to charge when it's cheap through the week.
The daily average price for March so far has been 26.53p, which is cheaper than any other tariff for general daily use, i think.

Unless you are financially strapped I recommend paying actual billed amounts by variable direct debit. Companies always seem to end up collecting your money and being reluctant to give it you back….
The price cap is applied to customers on a default energy tariff.
You are of course free to switch to a default tariff for the EPG.
The companies rarely seem to promote this option. I emailed [email protected] For information my subject line was "Full bill payment each month" and the content was "I would like to change my payment arrangement to paying the exact amount of my bill in full each month by Direct Debit. At present my monthly payments are averaged over the year. I would be grateful if this change could be instigated as soon as possible and my full accumulated balance returned to my bank account (£xxxx to date). Many thanks."
A variable Direct Debit was set up by Octopus and all has been well ...
Car ( device) disconnected and reconnected as it won't charge beyond 50%.
The other day I was awarded a smart charge session and the car wasn't plugged in.
I've now simply disconnected the car and will charge, when required, via the schedule.
My average unit cost is sub 12ppkw, as I load up my batteries ( load shift etc) from 11.30pm and that usually gives us 24hrs

Saving Session calculated result from 15th March appeared in Octopus Energy app this morning at last. It seems they excluded the 14th March onboarding 50 MW Saving Session though, so fewer points than I was expecting.
I scrolled a couple of pages back, but couldn't see anything relevent, does anyone know what the go/go faster prices are going to be from 1st April? Need to get my spreadsheet out to decide if it's time to come off my so.energy e7 tarrif.
We just had their price change notification come through and day rate is going down, but night rate is going up, which will have a disproportionate impact of us as battery users in addition to the car charging.
Ideally looking for a 5hr slot late in the eve, not sure if that's still running?
