What is the grace period for TfL off peak?

The grace period is definitely at least 3 minutes and definitely no more than 5 minutes. It shortens the peak period at each end of both peaks. If you are charged off-peak then TfL treat this as a bonus for you. It is designed to minimise instances of people complaining that the clock was fast/slow.
