Octopus Energy API Cert Expired - Plugin Down

Hi all,

It appears the SSL certificate for the Octopus API has expired, and as a result you cannot get rate updates. I guess the API support people don't work at the weekend, but it is not just me and I have raised it to them. I could apply a workaround, but don't think it is a good idea (Postman continued to work, but appears to ignore the cert issue).

Thanks,
Neil

Re: Octopus Energy API Cert Expired - Plugin Down

Done a little more digging and this seems to also relate to client configuration used a cert that expired yesterday that has wider applicability than Octopus https://support.sectigo.com/Com_KnowledgeDetailPage?Id=kA03l00000117LT but I will wait until I get an update from Octopus tomorrow. It appears this may be client specific, but could also be addressed server side but beyond my knowledge as SSL is a Dark Art to me. I don't want to switch verification off (which does work) and I don't really want to force people to mess about with certs on their python install.

Any pointers welcomed !
