Hawaiian Electric billing is pretty bad. I have had a few odd billing events, that is why I know anything above simple collecting at the HELCO Hilo office gets any billing discrepancy kicked up to HECO in Honolulu. From there, mass confusion can start. A large part of this was finding out HECO in Honolulu does their reviews manually by hand. Apparently, they have the same technophobia their customers have, and their billing system is archaic and obsolete. That, and they have central billing authority on Oahu, understandable in the stove-pipe era they are locked into.
