Ohme charger on Intelligent Octopus

[AWC]

Anyone else using an Ohme charger on Intelligent Octopus get a message from the Ohme app saying your energy price cap had been disabled? This is a key setting to make sure a Lexus will always charge at the lowest tariff rate so what are they playing at?

I notice this post is a few months old, so maybe my response now isn't of any use, but just in case here it is....

I have an Ohme charger and am on the Intelligent Octopus tariff.  When I first used it last summer I was also concerned about the cap being removed, however I was assured that as the charging was controlled by Octopus I was guaranteed to never pay more than off peak rates.  The cap is best left off to allow Octopus more flexibility to make use of surplus energy.  This has proved to be the case.  In the early days there were several occasions where I plugged the car in during the day and found the car charging, however I was only ever charged the off peak rate.  Nowadays it tends to delay charging until 23:30 which is fine.  It all works well for me.

Yes, the Ohme app has changed so if you have "smart charging" enabled it will charge at any time at the lowest rate.
