We all know what happens to digital items during a power outage. Blinking zeros. How will anyone know how much power I had used?

I’m pretty sure that during a power outage you use ZERO power.

"I’m pretty sure that during a power outage you use ZERO power."

You don't get it. Let me explain it to you. Let's say I have used 1345 KW when the power outage occurs. When the power is restored the meter instead of showing 1345 shows blinking 0000. Do you think the electric company will charge me for 0000kw or will they guesstimate what I have used and bill me for 1955? How can I prove to them that I have only used 1345? Take daily photos? power outages happen unexpectedly.
