For us is “Always On” was $19 for the month (so anything plugged in, not in use)
Yet our pool is only $12 for the month. Granted we are not heating, but our chiller is on.
So just for S&Gs I unplugged every not in use item. Lamps, Alexa’s, toaster, blenders, printer, cell phone docks. So will post after next month end bill.
Our new meter bill increased by $2.37 from last month old meter.

To the OP, sounds like they may be a billing error or double charge in your case?
I have a Sense device that monitors power usage real time. No difference with the new meter for total power usage.
I suspect the SECO usage breakdown are estimates, not actual detection and measurement of those devices as happens with Sense.
I think Village Tinker (and others?) has a Srnse also so maybe he will weigh in for what he's observing.
