mysteriously having tons of salvage data

[Sandwich-Anomaly]

okay... im not sure whats happening but i come in to play my game and suddenly i find in my backpack refiner... Thousands of salvage data chips (around 1800) and then i find its been turned into 4000 nanites.

I have not received any notification of anyone giving it to me nor did i do mission that rewards such huge amounts of these things.

Has anyone else had this massive stroke of luck or generosity from the game?

There's been a video out about this glitch for several days go on youtube and search
Professor Cynical No Man's Sky Salvaged Data Glitch
Just leave 9999 amount sitting in backpack refiner of either: Rusted Metal, Silver, Gold, Platinum, or Activated Indium and don't look for 3 - 6 hours. Its known to work with different quantities, but if leaving less amount sitting in refiner then its more random if it'll even glitch.

I got this twice. This is breaking the game.

It almost makes up for the fact that my refiners all empty mysteriously when I leave the area. I have lost millions because of that so the extra nanites makes up for it.

It's happened to me a few times after warping out from the Nexus.
Twice it was Salvaged Data. Once it was Activated Emeril.
I had my personal refiner in Slot 1 of my Exosuit inventory, and I'm pretty sure it was empty.
