Electricity billing and feedback

Does anyone else find that the automatic bank debits for electricity are not the same amounts as are shown on the bills?Online agent couldn't explain to my why this is the case. And when I clicked on the "Help us improve by putting a comment on AGL Feedback Community page", the link said "This content was archived".  Not very useful.

2024 Government Rebate Refund

It is current AGL policy not to refund a government rebate to the consumer. Can AGL advise if the two rebates (QLD and Federal)  announced for 2024/25 are to be retained by AGL or will the consumer (for whom the rebate was intended) be allowed to claim this amount if their account balance is regularly in credit due to efficient use of solar.
