Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

I have successfully been using Actual on desktop across multiple devices, but when I try to load my budget on mobile the download errors and then when I open the file it is missing recent transactions. The app reports a sync issue.

The budget is imported from YNAB and is on the larger side.

The issue didn't cause an issue in the cloud file the first time, but the most recent time also removed recent transactions in the server version of the budget file overwriting the functioning version.

Issue is related to #6223 but that thread is focused on the sync id issues, so opening this to focus on the mobile opening bug

Server: Azure Container Instance
Mobile Client: Android, Microsoft Edge
Desktop Client: Windows, Microsoft Edge

How can we reproduce the issue?

How can we reproduce the issue?

Attempt to open large ynab imported budget on mobile. Wait for download to fail, close and reopen site, trigger a sync.

Where are you hosting Actual?

Other

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Microsoft Edge

Operating System

Mobile Device

The attempts to sync are causing the actual budget container to restart.

After deleting the local version on desktop I see these issues in the console logs which pointsback to the sync function. Notes mention a 20MB limit, but looking at the sqlite file for this budget the size is only 8.66MB:

Are you able to export your budget from one of the working devices and then reimport it? Also are your server and clients all on the same version?

I tried opening from a working device, but they would sync the broken budget file. In the end I recovered by opening on an additional device while offline, exporting, and then reimporting.

I believe that both server and client were on 25.11.0, but mobile might have been on 25.10.0.

Weird. I wonder if a sync just got broken and caused confusion. Ill close this for now. If it happens again try and remember what happened right before so we can attempt to recreate the issue.
