Description

  • Network: Goerli
  • JS stack version: 0.20.12

Currently we experience issue with gas price on Goerli, transactions doesn't go trough.
We experiment with gas parameters on agent, adjusting in hope to see allocations succeed.

At relatively insane level gas got over actual input balance ( 4.5 ETH )

At this point agent got in to the loop, spamming around ~30 transactions per second or more, log filled up in a speed of light.

Expected behaviour: Agent should stop any broadcasts sequences as soon as transaction fee excited operator input balance.

Way to reproduce: Emulate condition from above.

Research direction

Start by tracing the AllocationManager path that sends staking.multicall transactions and handles the "Resubmitting transaction" retry. Reproduce the insufficient-funds condition described on Goerli or with an equivalent emulation; done means broadcasts stop when estimated fees exceed the operator input balance and the retry loop no longer floods the logs.
