I know this may have been covered elsewhere but would be nice to have a definitive answer. Tried running the latest Python earnings script and say in the Payout Notes - “Graceful Exit”. Is this anything to worry about. The complete output on my node: ```auto September 2020 (Version: 9.4.0) [snapshot: 2020-09-16 05:49:43Z] TYPE PRICE DISK BANDWIDTH PAYOUT Upload Ingress -not paid- 140.96 GB Upload Repair Ingress -not paid- 139.84 GB Download Egress 20 USD / TB 788.14 GB 15.76 USD Download Repair Egress 10 USD / TB 131.67 GB 1.32 USD Download Audit Egress 10 USD / TB 4.07 MB 0.00 USD Disk Current Storage -not paid- 7.20 TB Disk Average Month Storage 1.50 USD / TBm 3.55 TBm 5.32 USD Disk Usage Storage -not paid- 2.56 PBh _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ + Total 3.55 TBm 1.20 TB 22.40 USD Estimated total by end of month 6.98 TBm 2.36 TB 44.09 USD Payout and held amount by satellite: SATELLITE JOINED MONTH HELD% HELD TOTAL EARNED HELD PAID us-central-1 2019-04-22 18 0% 0.08 USD 1.1934 USD 0.0000 USD 1.1934 USD Status: OK >Audit[0.0% DQ|0.0% Susp] >Up[100.0%] europe-west-1 2019-05-31 17 0% 11.25 USD 2.4478 USD 0.0000 USD 2.4478 USD Status: OK >Audit[0.0% DQ|0.0% Susp] >Up[100.0%] europe-north-1 2020-04-18 6 50% 12.59 USD 5.1377 USD 2.5689 USD 2.5689 USD Status: OK >Audit[0.0% DQ|0.0% Susp] >Up[100.0%] asia-east-1 2019-06-10 16 0% 0.30 USD 1.1805 USD 0.0000 USD 1.1805 USD Status: OK >Audit[0.0% DQ|0.0% Susp] >Up[100.0%] saltlake 2020-02-11 8 25% 30.41 USD 12.4391 USD 3.1098 USD 9.3293 USD Status: OK >Audit[0.0% DQ|0.0% Susp] >Up[100.0%] stefan-benten 2019-04-22 18 0% 42.59 USD 0.0042 USD 0.0000 USD 0.0042 USD Status: WARNING: Uptime low >Audit[0.0% DQ|0.0% Susp] >Up[0.0%] HELD AMOUNT RETURNED -42.59 USD 42.5868 USD AFTER RETURN 0.00 USD 0.0042 USD 0.0000 USD 42.5911 USD PAYOUT NOTES: Graceful Exit _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ + TOTAL 97.22 USD 22.4027 USD 5.6786 USD 16.7241 USD HELD AMOUNT RETURNED -42.59 USD 42.5868 USD AFTER RETURN 54.63 USD 22.4027 USD 5.6786 USD 59.3109 USD ``` ---

The uptime low warning too! The node was down maybe 2 minutes while watchtower updated the node. ---

Noted. I will. It may just be temporary. ---

This is because the held amount for the Stefan Benten satelliet was paid out in order to decommission it. This information was sent out to nodes as a graceful exit. This payout was already included in the payouts for August, even though the satellite reports it as a september payout. So keep in mind that it won’t be included again in September’s payouts round. ---

Understood. So it will will not be included next month as your blog stated? ---

Correct, it was already included in the last payout. It’s a little confusing that it was paid in one month, but reported in another. Not much I can do about that from my end. That’s just how Storj decided to do it. The earnings calculator just reports it as the satellite reported it to the node.
