Electricity meter question

I have been trying to square the readings from my energy monitor with my meter and noticed this odd behaviour - does anyone have experience of such meters and whether the behaviour between the 66149 adn 66150 reading looks odd to them as it seems to skip. It might not be overreading as there might be a similar (but reversed) effect at random other times but without monitoring the meter for hours on end it's hard to tell.

Do you really expect a reply inside one minute?

I think you need to remove that video and replace it with something that shows what is happening in something closer to real time, so that we can really see what the 1/10th wheel does, because I can't tell what is the meter's possible fault, what is due to your time-lapse photography and what is the video looping.

On the face of it, your meter is faulty.

Edit:  The probability of there being a 'correcting' jump backwards is vanishingly small, because if repeatable, the meter would "stick" at the same reading - to within 10 kWh.
