3. Active contracts almost doubled but expected SC unchanged

Active contracts almost doubled but expected SC unchanged

    Initially I had my Price per TB per Month and Bandwidth Price both set to between 1-5 SC each to try and spur a lot of contracts to use up empty space on my mining rig that is always on anyway, collateral at 2000.

    After looking at other hosts in my area on Sia Pulse, I adjusted Price per TB per Month and Bandwidth Price upwards to be comparable. Collateral and duration remained unchanged.

    After a computer restart and wallet unlock, my active contracts jumped from 316 to 550, but the expected SC remained unchanged at 940. The free GB is also unchanged.

    Is there some kind of caching built into the wallet that would account for this? Or otherwise, how would that be explained?

    If the free GB is unchanged that probably means there has been no additional usage of the storage space covered by formed contracts. You only get paid for storage that is actually not used, and not for how much storage was negotiated in a contract. So then, it seems the unchanged expected SC earnings is explained by the unchanged GB used, and not affected by number of contracts.
