Calling it solidarity with Ukraine is an understatement. People reduced the consumption because they couldn't afford it anymore — for big economical and diplomatic reasons.

I know plenty of people who reduced their gas consumption way before their contracts got updated. No financial stimulus, pure feeling of civic duty and solidarity - with Ukraine, with those who already had adjusted contracts, and out of fear for what would happen in the coming winter.
