Make sure you look at the terms for the lower rates and if they expire. Hubby forgot to make an adjustment after a 12 month intro and we got hit with a 4 figure electric bill. We (painfully) paid it but we learned to keep a close eye on supplier intro offers after that.

Four figure? My God. So sorry.

Same thing happened to me, luckily it hit in a normally low month, but our bill tripled from ~200ish to over 600 because my "introductory rate" expired and I didn't realize it until I checked and my bill was insane already.

This is the primary reason I don't mess with it. I know myself, I know my mental health, and I know there is a fair chance that even if I took every precaution, I'd end up missing a date and having something like this.

FTFY.

Although payed exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:

Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. The deck is yet to be payed.
Payed out when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. The rope is payed out! You can pull now.

Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
