Accounts endpoint returning incorrect balance for subsequent queries #4260
Description
I query Cardano Node to retrieve address index for my account using following method: https://cardanodocs.com/technical/wallet/api/v1/?v=1.6.0#section/Getting-Started/Receiving-ADA
This returns correct balance value of my wallet (amount field) :
[ { "index": 2147483648, "addresses": [ { "id": "37btjrVyb4KFv3siBTNTg2Y3mLvpBz2Ti9wNpi2Nr7qPQ8YQ2n3NRaT7Q6w4amNTCyv3YUiTK97DvWLQoAXFR9KoT7z8hUkwAHDiYWvrBMQgSbvEBY", "used": true, "changeAddress": false, "ownership": "isOurs" }, { "id": "37btjrVyb4KGCAUEDGrfX6khonF8AdDr4VavmpLGeb5574WeYuSFxJwvvNRG3u1qb2z9Sx61MNsQjyiBMXRKbCyC4NQo1v8LWNrhDa1f555F7AUtbu", "used": true, "changeAddress": true, "ownership": "isOurs" }, ...more addresses here... { "id": "37btjrVyb4KCRFoncLWaeJR7FWGCRN89drYw4Gq4TUheKsskAoQb6ic6oh1FdivGb8keB463iwxbhSRrYwc5jfvVuUZfi2x1MBuehqZeM4aUy3EmwT", "used": true, "changeAddress": true, "ownership": "isOurs" } ], "amount": 2113308647, "name": "Account: HdAccountIx 2147483648", "walletId": "2cWKMJemoBajhKSbMFvjrfiDSUg7vyASiBejRirc8qFDMcTyvSrn5nnzPXo498CuZtLe2" } ] Then, I use https://cardanodocs.com/technical/wallet/api/v1/?v=1.6.0#section/Getting-Started/Sending-ADA to send a transaction from that address. It is successfully sent.
And then, I am trying to do exactly the same thing again. However, https://cardanodocs.com/technical/wallet/api/v1/?v=1.6.0#section/Getting-Started/Receiving-ADA incorrectly returns 0 balance this time:
[ { "index": 2147483648, "addresses": [ { "id": "37btjrVyb4KFv3siBTNTg2Y3mLvpBz2Ti9wNpi2Nr7qPQ8YQ2n3NRaT7Q6w4amNTCyv3YUiTK97DvWLQoAXFR9KoT7z8hUkwAHDiYWvrBMQgSbvEBY", "used": true, "changeAddress": false, "ownership": "isOurs" }, { "id": "37btjrVyb4KGCAUEDGrfX6khonF8AdDr4VavmpLGeb5574WeYuSFxJwvvNRG3u1qb2z9Sx61MNsQjyiBMXRKbCyC4NQo1v8LWNrhDa1f555F7AUtbu", "used": true, "changeAddress": true, "ownership": "isOurs" }, ...more addresses here... { "id": "37btjrVyb4KG2s4YW3PD6o5LG7BeQNFrAV9NCuTAoXmafjinvAiN4byrfA2YbXTXafASPoSwFsApdD9KAciuUVVHthh9L1bvffTFpu4JDJ36VoEYxD", "used": false, "changeAddress": false, "ownership": "isOurs" }, ...more addresses here... { "id": "37btjrVyb4KCRFoncLWaeJR7FWGCRN89drYw4Gq4TUheKsskAoQb6ic6oh1FdivGb8keB463iwxbhSRrYwc5jfvVuUZfi2x1MBuehqZeM4aUy3EmwT", "used": true, "changeAddress": true, "ownership": "isOurs" } ], "amount": 0, "name": "Account: HdAccountIx 2147483648", "walletId": "2cWKMJemoBajhKSbMFvjrfiDSUg7vyASiBejRirc8qFDMcTyvSrn5nnzPXo498CuZtLe2" } ] Please do note that is also returned an additional address with used flag set to false.
Funny thing is, if I wait some time (couple of seconds) , hitting exactly the same endpoint with exactly the same data returns correct balance.
What is happening there? Looks like a bug to me, but it may also be my poor understanding of Cardano ;)
