# 🏷️ Price Level Gap Tolerance

Tibber's API assigns each interval a price level: VERY_CHEAP, CHEAP, NORMAL, EXPENSIVE, or VERY_EXPENSIVE. In practice, a single interval can jump to a different level briefly before jumping back — creating isolated "noise" intervals that make sensors flicker.
|
|
|
|
Gap tolerance smooths this out.
|
|
|
|
## Setting
|
|
|
|
| Setting | Default | Description |
|
|
|---------|---------|-------------|
|
|
| **Gap tolerance** | 1 | Number of consecutive "mismatched" intervals to fill in automatically |
|
|
|
|
### Example
|
|
|
|
With gap tolerance = 1, a lone NORMAL interval surrounded by CHEAP on both sides is automatically corrected to CHEAP:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Before: CHEAP CHEAP NORMAL CHEAP CHEAP
|
|
After: CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP
|
|
↑ filled in
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
With gap tolerance = 0, no smoothing is applied and every interval uses the raw API level.
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
- This applies to Tibber's own level classification (separate from the [Price Rating](config-price-rating.md) which is calculated by this integration)
|
|
- Increasing gap tolerance beyond 2 is rarely useful — larger gaps usually represent genuine price differences
|
|
- The gap tolerance here only affects level sensors; the separate gap tolerance in [Best Price](config-best-price.md) and [Peak Price](config-peak-price.md) settings controls period merging behavior
