Verified issue does not already exist?

What happened?

I may be missing something, but the maths are not mathing here.

As you can see from the image, the expenses from my last month is calculating over $12k, but as you can see from the category summaries, the numbers don't add up to even close to that.

I do have a category for TRANSFERS, in which transfers between accounts and credit card payments cancel each other out. Is it possible it's including the withdrawals and ignoring the deposits from moving money around?

If I'm missing something, please make it make sense!

How can we reproduce the issue?

I'm not exactly sure. The prior month seems to have calculated correctly.

Where are you hosting Actual?

Docker

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Chrome

Operating System

Linux

Have you tried resetting the budget cache? You may need that for the changes to properly take effect.
