[Bug]: GoCardless syncing way more data then used to (730 days back) about actual HOT 13 CLOSED

👍 Also seems to be no longer respecting account start date, fetching transactions from long before I started using actual.

Thanks for the reply, it seems to work now, no longer getting older transactions!

EDIT: Side note: If you have already synced old data and deleted it I recommend to reset sync in the settings because it bloated my database to >20 MB and made sync unusable on my phone. Export your data as a backup first!

from actual.

Everyone, please try syncing again — the issue might be resolved on GoCardless' end

from actual.

have re-tried it again now and can confirm that the issues is resolved, hence closing this :)
if someone is still experiencing this issues after re-linking - we ll re-open

Apparently folks are able to reproduce the same issue on older versions of Actual (can someone verify?). That would cancel out Actual as the culprit.

I have the same issue on v24.5.0, so it's definitely a change on the side of GoCardless/Nordigen.

For me it imports all transactions since I've opened the account at KNAB (>2 years ago)

I have the same problem with ING even though I set the "Starting Balance" to 1st February (when I started using ActualBudget) which prevented syncing older entries. This seems to no longer work.

EDIT: Workaround: Create a "pre" rule that zeroes out the amount and set a new category like "invalid transactions" or something and apply that to all before a certain date.

hm, thanks for sharing your workaround.
i use actual for historical records and would love to avoid extra unnecessary records messing up things. Have disabled GoCardless sync for now... back to manual entries until the issue is fixed haha 😅

Folks on Discord have also reported this issue. The current group-think there is that this has to be related with the recent incident/maintenance Nordigen performed.

can also verify the same issue on v24.5.0, since i did a roll-back after upgrade and tried there as well :)

Same problem here with Lloyds bank (UK)

Same problem here :(
Biggest problem is that the starting date in Actual is not respected anymore, I now have over 1200 uncategorized transactions messing up everything

I’m syncing via Go Cardless with Starling (UK) and cards with Amex and Halifax. The only problem I have had so far is (a) having to unlink and relink GoCardless (b) a random incorrect import at Starling in July ‘23. Phew!

I just set up my actual server, and I'm experiencing the same issue. My bank accounts are either not able to sync, or when they are they stop working after a few days.
