What's Wrong?
Some autocompact trigger infinite compact. Accounts Max 20x gets consumed on autopilot for no reason. This bug is serious. Appeared in last version. Right after compact, triggers a new compact that triggers a new compact and so on ... This is a serious bug. Usually do not happen but if only one triggers it, it consumes account if left unattended.
