Nest Rush hour for 8+ hours?

[peco245]

Aren’t rush hour events supposed to be up to 4 hours? Got the app notification that rush hour would start at 4. Which is fine but the app says it does t end until 12:30am!!!!!

why would that be?

3 hours 15 minutes after rush hour start it ended and cooled back down when it said was going to be 8 hours. Never touched the settings.

Hi peco245,

Thanks for reaching out to our community.

Understanding Nest thermostat Rush Hour rewards can be tricky, so I'm here to help.

Rush hour events typically last between two and four hours. However, the exact duration varies depending on factors like the time of year, weather conditions, and local energy grid demands. Sometimes, rapidly changing weather conditions can prompt shorter but more frequent Rush Hour events, lasting around 30-90 minutes.

Feel free to check out this article to learn more about how Rush Hour rewards work.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Regards,
Angel.
