Debit/Payment Issue

[Court]

I started getting notices for debits and second later for payments of the exact same amount. Every few seconds its repeating. The exact quantity of the debit/payment pair varies significantly. I checked my stations and traders to see if one appeared to be stuck in a loop making purchases, but as far as I can tell none of them are.

Anyone encountered this before or know a fix?

Note: the log does not show a cooresponding purchase that I can relate back to a specific ship.

I believe it is traders that do not have their own bank accounts, maybe the galaxy traders?

Or could be your ships doing manual trade orders, with several orders in the queue. It would not show until they got there and the trade was actually done.

I have seen a few, but not usually very many at a time.

Station traders use the station account, so I don't think that would show.

No manual trades going at this time. I have 3 Galaxy traders going right now, all 3 are in open space. Should cause this issue, but I will cancel all actions and restart them just to be sure.

Station traders, I bumped up the funds available and it didnt make a difference. I thought maybe they were right on the threshold to transfer money, but that does not appear to be the case.

Found a solution. Turned off Message notifications for debit/payment actions. This isnt a great solution, because whatever is causing the issue likely is eating CPU resources. But at least is stopped the incesent beeping

Interesting, last I looked we could not turn it off. I will have to look again... 8-)
