It’s pretty difficult to avoid, especially at this time of year (Ceredigion).

There is no penalty per se, you just try and remember to avoid running electricity intensive tasks during the peak cost hours. For example, if you have a dishwasher with a timer function, you just set it for X hours time instead of turning it on straight away.
However saying this, remember you will have a 24x7 cost of running the house so all of this will, on average, cost you less which helps to offset any higher costs during peak periods.
Here's some screenshots of the Octopus Watch app for the last couple of weeks. You can see the (few) days where it was colder and there was no wind but these are offset by the many more days when the Agile pricing is cheaper.
