Utility meter working for daily, weekly but not monthly

I have been browsing and configuring but am admitting that I need help as I have seen some very good answers for various other topics here.

I created a sensor as sum of two sensors

      solar_energy_total:
        friendly_name: "solar_energy_total"
        unique_id: solar_energy_total
        value_template: "{{ '{:.1f}Wh'.format((states('sensor.reverse_energy_a')|float(0) + states('sensor.reverse_energy_a_2')|float(0) )) }}"
        device_class: energy
        unit_of_measurement: kWh

and use this for three utility meters

  solar_energy_daily:
    source: sensor.solar_energy_total
    name: solar energy daily
    unique_id: solar_energy_meter_daily
    cycle: daily
  solar_energy_weekly:
    source: sensor.solar_energy_total
    name: solar energy weekly
    unique_id: solar_energy_meter_weekly
    cycle: weekly
  solar_energy_monthly:
    source: sensor.solar_energy_total
    name: solar energy monthly
    unique_id: solar_energy_meter_monthly
    cycle: monthly

but only the monthly meter is in state Unknown with no history.

Is it simply because this monthly meter was not reset yet?
Do I have to wait for the next month or can I perform a manual reset to see it counting?

Utility meter doesn’t go in the past, so if you created the config in September, you won’t get a value until October 1st.

Does this only apply to monthly? My weekly one started right away as zero and does not say Unknown

I’d expect it to be populated once the value from the original sensor changes, but it won’t take history into account. If it stays unavailable when the origial sensor changes, I’d check for a typo in the entity id.

Thanks.I am going to wait the few days until October.

Which says - be patient!
Sensors created with this integration are persistent, so values are retained across restarts of Home Assistant. The first cycle for each sensor will be incomplete; a sensor tracking daily usage will start to be accurate the next day after the integration was activated. A sensor tracking monthly usage will present accurate data starting the first of the next month after being added to Home Assistant.
