Ok Chris,
The only reason I use the app is to possibly help some users.
Run Win 11 with a 24" screen and it makes everything so easy to read.
I also download the ZIP file and convert it into a industry standard file which is easily read.
The download data from AGL is getting better with the previous days data being available around 1500 (3pm) each day.
From the data, I create reports that allow me to see daily usage, calculate my EXACT daily usage and create financial data.
Using that data I can also calculate my expected bill, the expected bill gives me the required information to pay fortnightly towards my bill to avoid bill shock.
The spreadsheet that I use to enter the daily data I collect is now in it's seventh year.
Other than a quick look at the usage graph and the supplied usage\costs while I download the data it takes me less than THREE minutes to have all the data converted, entered into a spreadsheet then view the current bill prediction.
As to usage there are two of us in the house:
Reporting from 20231005 for 78 Days
DATE TYPE NMI Days Last Data Meter Read Day Avg
20231221 Solar B1 78 35.734 2108.052 27.026
20231221 General E1 78 2.968 232.870 2.986
Meter E2 was skipped as it contained no data 0.0
Process Time was : 0.159809 seconds
As you can see we do not use much electricity (two of us), we have 24 panels and 5kW inverter, the figures look good but the end result is that our bill prediction is saying a credit of $2.78 on our next bill.

| You are 87% into this bill |
This is a far comparison from the Web Page which states a credit of $97.90 and I have 12 days still to go before the bill is due.
However you should note that NOT included in the AGL page is the supply cost, which you can see on my predicted bill will be $94.14 for the 90 days.
The figure that AGL should be showing for my SUPPLY CHARGE should be $81.59 and so my APPROXIMATE usage from AGL for the 21st DEC should be a credit of $9.55.
The actual details for my account on the 21st Dec should have stated.
| Elect Used | $ 105.7360 |
| Supply | $ 81.5880 |
| GST | $ 18.7324 |
| Sol Rate 1 | -$ 154.5969 |
| Sol Rate 2 | -$ 53.8703 |
| Total | -$ 2.4108 |
Anyway, glad that you have resolved your Query to your satisfaction, have a Merry Christmas and a Great New Year.
Cheers Neil
