Presumably it all evened out the next month with a correct reading? Regarding the smart meter replacement, it might be worthwhile to take a photo of the reading on the old meter just before it is replaced. Trust but verify, as they say.

When it happened the first time I know several of my neighbors had the same problem. I was gone when it happened most recently this past May so I didn't have a chance to find out if mine was just an isolated incident or if it was again a problem for a bunch of us in our neighborhood. But how does this even happen?? I've had meters read the "good old fashioned way" in Wisconsin for almost 50 years and have never once had a problem with an erroneous reading.....
