Verified issue does not already exist?
What happened?
I recently set up an American Express account through SimpleFIN. The original bank sync of the account seemed to work just fine. However, all subsequent sync attempts are throwing exceptions on the client side JS. This seems to be the offending block in sync.ts:
As you can see,
downloadends up undefined because the account ID is not actually found in theresobject. This leads to a thrown exception at the highlighted line since it tries to access theerror_codeproperty onundefined.The result of this is I can't sync this account at all, and also the "sync all" button errors out at this account so I need to sync all of my other accounts manually.
How can we reproduce the issue?
No clue, I'm guessing it's either a problem with the SimpleFIN data coming back or just a logic bug in the JS. There should be new transactions coming in from this account, though. Let me know if I can give you anything else to help debug.
Where are you hosting Actual?

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Oh actually it looks like there's an error coming back on the transactions request:
I can try this. It'd be nice if we could surface this error in the actual UI, all I was getting was this red popup:

Relinking seems to have fixed it. Will leave this open for now so y'all can decide whether you want to try to fix the error behavior.

This happened to me to. clicking sync showed no error but the little arrow animation stopped much too quickly for an actual sync to happen. no error. unlink, relink one account caused a fresh sync.

Having same issue since the v26 update. I have 11 institutions and 30 accounts in total, and when clicking sync, it just stops, and transactions don't update
deleted and started a new account fixes it temporarily but cannot update the next day or few days later.
is that a limit issue with simpleFin or some error we cannot see? I can confirm both from the logs that 49 transactions were downloaded total but only a handful showed up
simplefin also confirmed data is being recevied
