No it isn't a scam, assuming you are an Octopus customer.
They are probably trying to reduce curtailment costs. The 30 min Agile tariff is bobbling around 3 - 5p a unit between 12 and 3, which is reasonably unusual ina summer weekday daytime and is an indicator that over-production is anticipated.
Do you use a VPN? That often causes he kind of error you are seeing. Temporarily disable it if you have.
Note the "free" only relates to usage over your "normal" usage during the same period (I think over the past 4 weeks).
At normal tariff rates, had I been here, I could have put about £1.20 worth of juice into the EV in an hour which would hardly make me a millionaire but without an EV you'd not really get a lot from it. Mind you, most days atm I'm only using about 80 - 90p in total so it's a free day effectively. Great headline for Octopus though!! :-)
