It says “higher usage” by the event and gave no points. I used nothing, and exported around 10kw at that time, as I do each day, and have opted in to events. Anyone know why?

Thanks for getting in touch! 😊 I can see why this was confusing, especially as you were exporting during the event.

We’ve checked the data and your expected export (baseline) was around 8.19 kWh, while you actually exported around 6.83 kWh. As this was lower than your usual baseline, the event showed as “higher usage”, so no points were awarded.

I hope that helps explain what happened!
