My British gas smart meter display unit won't stop beeping. It's a pay as you
go meter but has plenty of credit. The constant chirping is driving me mad

If it's the in-home display beeping, either power it off/on, or move it
to be closer to the electricity meter.

If it's the actual gas meter beeping, they have a battery that should
last 10 years (not user replaceable).

Other than that, call British Gas ...

My mother had the same problem with hers.
It was to do with the spend limits being set far too low.
IIRC I simply went through menus and reset daily(?) limits from the
pre-set few £'s to something she'd never reach such as £30 or something.

Seems like a common issue and the bloody device has a rechargeable
battery so you couldn't simply unplug it to ease the pain.
I was borderline chucking it into a bowl of water to shut the thing up!

Their website says the pen^H^H^Hengineers always call ahead to let you
know when they're on the way, but the radio adverts say they call ahead
95% of the time, presumably they think customers won't mind if they are
the unlucky 5%

So, not some weird tie-in with Linux then? The key clue word here being
"annoying" rather than "friendly". :-)

Apropos of "annoying", I'm guessing it must be some irritating TV advert
that "The Product" endure whilst awaiting their favourite "advert bait"
programme to start (or resume - it's all the same thing really, what with
it being just a 'legitimate' way to avoid 'dead air' in the gaps between
advert breaks).

The beeping is to tell you that you have a gas leak.

Is it the meter beeping or is it the in-house display that shows you
what you are using? If the latter it could be telling you that you've
gone over your gas and electricity budget for the week. Your manual
should tell you how to change that budget. You can just set it very
high if you don't want any such alarms.

You can't turn the meter off.
That would cut off your supply (if this was allowed).

As others have said it is likely to be the remote monitor.
