Yikes, this is real bad

[roryabraham]

Was able to reproduce this

[mountiny]

This feels more like backend issue. When paid the chatReport.IOUReportID should be unset

To make sure though i think we could check when requesting if that report is in processing state and if its in higher than that, create new optimistic report.

Is this repo with in production? What about production API

[mountiny]

Feel free to mark this external to get more people to look into this too

[abzokhattab]

This is a Pusher issue.

the pusher sends 4 report data in which the first 2 clears the iouReportID but the last one gives the iouReportID back.

[mountiny]

@bernhardoj what command is this response of?

[bernhardoj]

I got the pusher after paying the money request from the other user.
