@Tron Burgundy Thanks so much for stepping up to the plate! I’m not quite certain, but I think the offpeak times are these:

December 2024  16-19
January 2025 16-19
February 2025 17-19
March 2025 17-19 
April 2025 - TBA

There will undoubtedly be confusion about 31 March, which will be the first day with a peak period in British Summertime. From 1 April, I expect the times TBA will be local (BST), so a one-hour shift from UTC as in previous years. It may be enough at this stage to assume that April-June will have the same peak period as February-March, i.e. 17-19 local, 16-18 UTC (unless I’ve got it muddled again 🤔).

@Firedog I’m updating the bookmarklets and will be uploading them when I have the data for April.

Do you also know if the weekends counting as off-peak will be changing as the only rule in place at the moment is that the date is July 24 onwards.

I’ve shifted things about and put a peak_data function at the front that should make it really easy for other people to make corrections and additions to the date criteria.

As far as we know, Weekends will remain Off-Peak indefinitely.

Yep, that would be 5pm to 7pm Monday-Friday. The 4pm to 5pm slot is no longer Peak.

@Blastoise186 ​@Firedog Do you have any idea if the bank holidays used by Ovo allow for regionality?

I’ve always used the England and Wales data from https://www.gov.uk/bank-holidays.json but was going to allow a region choice.  I haven’t done that before and wonder if it’s worth the effort or just do a “You’ll have what you’re given” approach.

IIRC it’s set up to only run off of English Bank Holidays, so I’d say use those only.

Updated.  Bank holiday data on the one click is good until the start of next year but I’ll most likely need to change the peak times before then if somebody lets me know.

I’ve added a function that makes them easier to change if I’m not around and anyone needs to do it themself.  It’s explained in the un-minified code.
