App constantly not showing correct daily charges so far

Am an AGL customer for 2 months and one day. I found the App daily charges statements so inaccurate that I wonder how AGL can say it’s a useful tool. Approx 3/4s of the month it shows an inflated figure of between about $5 and $7.50. This is my calculation based on daily cost x days and usage charges they supply in the App. At the end of each month however the final cost has equaled my own calls. This means the App shows costs so far that are all over the place. I’ve contacted AGL a few times for an explanation and their service usually  tells me what I’ve already read in my contract and on the App - except the lady who made statements that directly contradicted the explanations re GST etc in the App and in fact, if she was correct, would actually have made the discrepancies worse. On reading some of the other comments and resolved answers in this forum I’ve noticed that’s also what the AGL ‘resolvers’ are also doing here.

Good day, Em!

I am sorry to hear about your experience, and apologies for the confusion.

Please be aware that:

For smart meters:

  • 'Usage so far' is a cost based on the amount of energy you’ve used so far in the billing cycle. It excludes other charges such as supply charges.
  • ‘Cost-to-date’ takes ‘usage so far’ and applies supply charges and any applicable solar, demand or green charges, along with GST.

For basic meters:

  • ‘Usage so far’ is an estimated cost based on the amount of energy you used in the same period last year or your most recent bill. If you’re new to AGL with this meter it will be based on the usage of other customers or households in your state.
  • ‘Cost-to-date’ takes ‘usage so far’ and applies supply charges, usage charges, ongoing discounts and concessions, along with GST.

    You can find more information about how we calculate your data at: https://www.agl.com.au/help-support/account-setup-management/energy-usage-calculations?zcf97o=vlx3ap...

    Kindly,
    Mia.

Yes, once again, I am being told what I’ve already read. I agree that is what the App should do - I can assure you it’s not what it does.
