My 'Smart Meter'....

.... Didn't update the energy tariff, so shows cost @ old tariff rates! (Pre 02/04/22)
Eight days costs shown by 'Smart Meter' = £27.17 - Actual costs = £43.31 (+59.4%). 
Upon questioning this, I was told "In House Displays aren't accurate, but we are receiving the correct meter readings, so your bills will be accurate."
This inaccurate technology is being widely rolled out across the UK, but, for the benefit of who?
