chris are you aware of anything wrong with the interest calculation/nightly payment run? Wednesday was fine. Thursday and Friday, the usual post-midnight accrued interest stuff happened (loans 130-146), but stalled after that. Loans 1-129 saw nothing added (until someone manually bump started things in the afternoon) Today: Saturday: Same again, but nobody's about to grease the abacus, so it's stalled with loans 1-29 seeing no accrued interest added as of time of posting. Is it hanging up on one particular loan? (129 or 130?)

Is it hanging up on one particular loan? (129 or 130?) Good question! I was wondering if I was the only one seeing odd behaviour with accrued interest. Sometimes I make a note of my AI before and after midnight, and until recently the change has been reasonably consistent with what I'd expect based on the total amount I have lent and the average interest rate that are shown on my Dashboard. The last few times I've done this, however, the increase in AI has been less than half what I would have expected. I haven't been watching individual loan AI amounts, so I haven't a clue where the problem might be. As a result, I'm most grateful to mikeb for his efforts.

It was hanging on one particular loan, but i thought I'd fixed that. There's also an occasion deadlock issue (two threads trying to access the same data but in a different order causing lock contention issues) which kills the process, but it's triggered twice per night to try and make sure it makes it all the way through on at least one of those occasions. There was a change to the way it operates to try and speed up the calculation a little bit that was set live on Thursday as part of the fix for that one loan that was stopping the process. I've just given it a kick to make sure it runs all the way through, which it did without issue. Let me know if you spot any more instances of it failing to make it all the way through.

Ta chris -- that's shifted it. All present and correct again (and caught up the missing day from yesterday) |

Yup. Apart from a few loans that made their payment today, those ones are on track, but all those "idling along" haven't accrued overnight.

Some of my loans did increase between shortly before midnight and a couple of hours afterwards, but the total increase was less than half of what I was expecting. If I then take my after-midnight number and subtract the interest credited so far today -- because that interest no longer is 'accrued' -- I get a number that's a bit below what my account now is showing for total AI. This suggests -- I think -- that some more loans' AI have been updated, but the increase still is less than the shortfall I saw at 2am, so I still think I'm short. chris: Do you think every loan is up to date now? Or are some still lagging? I'm afraid I didn't record the AI on each of my loans yesterday evening, so I can't tell where the problem might lie. But I'm rather disappointed that I should have to think about needing to keep such records.

Apologies, should have been clearer ...
The first 9 loans (by highest loan number) accrued overnight. They always do.
Of the rest, 5 that received payments today also update their accrued correctly. once the payment was processed.
The rest are still not moved as of now (18:49), so no it's not fixed.
But I suspect attention is elsewhere due to the Ess** Bridging admin problem.

My accrued interest increased by the princely sum of 27p in the hours after midnight. So whereas the system used to be partially broken, it's now looking completely broken. Not good at all. chris: Any comment?

Well, one day's worth accruals have now been added but we are still missing a day, either Sunday night's or Monday night's, take your pick.

Not good at all. chris: Any comment? Well a) I can't vouch for what you're seeing in your account (although I don't believe this is a per-account problem), and b) you were looking at 5:00 am, which is earlier than I did! -- add c) you admit you aren't keep track per-loan  Have you started yet? By 9am Tuesday morning, the first 9 or so had updated. And a collection of a few others (for no obvious reason) But this now leaves the accrued interest counts in an inconsistent state: Some are up to date. Some are 1 day behind (because a repayment was received yesterday, which triggered an update, but not updated today), and some are 2 days behind. Having mailed AC about this, everything has been manually brought up to date again, so again it's all present and correct[*], until tomorrow. [*] When I say "correct" I mean subject to the other known and reported, but not solved, problems ... Ipsw*** (start date off by 1 month?, accrued interest too high, aka the bug that won't die), Ess**/Kidder**** (misbooked payment shafts accrued and rate), CC L***/Wooda**** (rate wrong, no 3% default)

This morning, most loans picked up 2 days worth of accrued, at once. I checked. Really, trust me, I did  Some loans picked up 1 day (as they were brought into line DURING the day yesterday when a repayment was processed)

... c) you admit you aren't keep track per-loan Have you started yet? No, I'm afraid I haven't, mainly because I haven't worked out an easy way to do that. How do you do it?
