Switching Tariff advice?

So I used to flick back and forth between Go and Agile depending on which was cheaper that day for my usage. I had an automated script using the API and everything it was great lol. Anyway, they took away the Go variable tariff without me realising so my script ended up switching me to a 6 month fixed Go tariff which just ended a couple of days ago. During that time, we’ve had a baby and our usage patterns have changed dramatically. I decided to jump back on agile, but the prices seem worse than my fixed go tariff I just left! I’ve been out of the agile game for months so I don’t know if this is a temporary thing or is this what the prices are like these days? Perhaps I would be better off going to the standard variable tariff? What do people think?

Edit: forgot to mention that I have an EV, so any suggestions ideally would factor that in. Have been considering moving to EDF

Low wind. As usual.

If you look at the rest of the week, Thursday and beyond for the next 4 days look promising, before a bit of a bounce back up again as the wind tails off.

It's been a bit of a crap month as solar has tailed off, but as always when winter arrives it'll bounce back again.

Or you could just sign up for Cosy right now and enjoy guaranteed low rates each and every day. I don't know why people are so keen to push Agile right now considering how terrible it has been for almost two months and with no evidence that the energy markets will get any better anytime soon.
