Interrupted payments

A closed tab or a lost connection can cut a payment off halfway. icLens keeps every payment from the moment you approve it, so you can finish it later. It never sends the same payment twice.

Finish a payment

1. Go back to where you started: the same canister, network and OISY account.

2. Open the payment again. icLens shows the original, kept payment instead of a new form.

3. Choose Reconcile original payment. icLens reads the ledger and either finishes delivery or tells you what happened.

Unfinished payments to the Reserve are listed in Cycles › Payments, with Finish payment.

What each result means

Result	Meaning
Delivered	The cycles reached the canister.
Accepted	The ledger took the payment; delivery is still being checked.
Failed	Nothing was sent, or it was refunded.
Reconciliation required	icLens can’t yet tell. Don’t pay again: check first.

A balance going up isn’t proof on its own: the canister may be spending, or receiving other top-ups. Check the delivered amount.

Top-ups by your Agent

When the Agent loses the reply to a top-up, it holds the Reserve until an owner checks it. In Cycles › History, an owner can use Close as spent once the ledger shows the outcome. It counts those cycles as spent and sends nothing. Automatic top-ups.

Good to know

• Don’t clear this browser’s data while a payment is unfinished: that’s where it’s kept.
• A workspace backup doesn’t include payments.
• If you need help, share the network, the canister ID and the block number. Never share your recovery phrase.
