I've moved them to the back bedroom which is NE facing so not great but all the bright rooms have blinds because they face the street and it's like living in a display case.
I think the porch just got a bit too cold at night for them. They just need to survive a couple more months and they'll spring into life hopefully.
Watering has been a fine balancing act. They've not dried out but they have definitely perked up each time I've watered. Basically I've been waiting until the leaves start to droop a little and then they get a drink which gets them looking a bit better.

Yes watering is a fine balancing act. Have to admit I have killed a number of plants by over or underwatering them during hibernation 😅We do have a Chili Thread on here by the way if you want more input!

Yea I'd definitely prune stuff that's dry already or that looks like it's not going to make it.
Hard to tell from the picture what's exactly going on but might have been a bit cold for them
(chilies don't like temperatures below 5°C, some can't even handle 10°C).
If possible pull them out of the pot and see if they're dry or actually still moist (don't overwater, they don't need a lot with the cold temps).
Ideally put them in a place that's still bright but a bit warmer, maybe you have a staircase with windows?
Good luck!
