If enough people people move their demand outside of peak hours, the situation giving rise to an Octopus "Saving Session" may never arise. Other schemes don't have that sort of condition for the rebate.

The Sessions could take place at any time – the specific windows will be based on when the grid needs help, so we don't know exactly when they’ll be yet (in other words, we can't schedule them far in advance).
We can say that the Sessions will usually take place during the busiest times of day, because that's when the grid generally needs more help balancing. The ‘peak’ time is usually between 4-7pm, so if you think you could manage to use a bit less power around then, Saving Sessions will likely benefit you.
