I myself have begun the switch to Cosy. Providing Agile rates improve before the 12 of January, I will report back whether I am able to get back onto Octopus without issue!
Somebody raised a concern that they had heard which was on the next billing cycle you will be billed based on the original tariff if you switch back to Agile within 30 days. I was billed whilst on Cosy but can confirm if this is true next month. Cosy is for people with heat pumps, storage heaters, and electric boilers however that does not appear to be enforced. The Ts and Cs say you cannot return within 30 days if you leave switch away from smart tariffs, not if you switch between them. People have been informed by agents that it is fine to do so.
Don't disagree that this is a great way to dodge the high pricing of Agile (we just swapped to Cozy, as a one off, may swap back to Agile "soon"), however I would question how long Octopus will allow this loophole to be open for if more and more people start doing it. Certainly not profitable for them!
Others claim to have been successful in moving BETWEEN smart tariffs. Have you attempted this yourself or are you quoting their terms and conditions about LEAVING a Smart Tariff?
@@GreenWhereItSuits I actually left to a fixed tarriff on 4Dec returned today on 15th - gas was also on tracked - they don't appear to be checking the terms..

3 days later and I’ve just switched back to Agile without issue!
Cozy is specifically for people with heat pumps and the t&c s state you are only lower to switch smart tariffs every 30days

you can't switch tariffs daily - only once every 30 days
