In some circumstances, your supplier may also be unable to connect to your meter automatically - for example, if it's an older generation - which will mean you have to submit your readings manually. Another situation where your smart meter may not work automatically is if you've only recently installed the meter.
Usually, it takes around 14 days for a supplier to get all the details of your meter into their system, as well as a few more days to fully connect to the meter and start taking readings. In this case, your supplier should contact you to ask for a manual meter reading.
