Energy costs do not work (stay always at € 0.00)

I cannot get the energy costs to work. The costs always stay at € 0.00, both in the energy devices and the Energy Dashboard, no matter what I do.
I used to work only with a fixed low/high tariff (which didn't work), and today I added an Enever device with Tibber prices. The two price devices created by the Enever plugin work nicely (current electricity price is shown as € 0.3454), but the costs in other devices stay at 0.00.
Can anybody give me an idea about what I'm doing wrong?
These are my settings:

And the resulting energy dashboard:

And the P1 smart meter without costs:

The other energy meters devices have the same issue. Costs can be selected, but are 0.00 (or not shown). What is wrong?

You probably have to wait a day to get it visible.

@waltervl,
You were right. Costs graphs now appear, and are using the dynamic energy prices from the Enever device.
Still do not understand why this never worked in the last years with the fixed prices that I entered in settings. Will do some experimenting with that later.
I do run into another issue: I wanted these dynamic costs in Domoticz so I can calculate the costs of a future dynamic energy contract (and can compare it with a fixed contract). This however does not work, since the energy returned to the grid is deducted from the costs total with the same energy price. That is however no the case in reality (even more when the Dutch "salderingsregeling" ends), since we have a large tax on the energy that we use from the grid.
So I just created my own incremental counter which uses the prices from Enever and only takes usage from the grid into account. Returned energy is (for now) omitted.

My energy costs still stay on 0.00€ in the Energy Dashboard and in the graphs.
I have upgraded to 2025.2 about a week ago.
The energy cost is shown correct in the reports.
Any idea what might be wrong?

What are your dynamic price calculation settings in menu setup- settings- tab counters

This is my configuration:

I do not have dynamic pricing.

I noticed that water is showing a cost.

You should set energy Price device to internal meter and then costs are calculated on the settings in Domoticz.
And when you change the tariff it will be calculated from then on with the new tariff.
With your current settings all history costs are calculated with your current tarifs.
