On April 1st, 2022, at around 14:30, Ceto team was batch deploying a rust version of the NFT trading environment and came across a failure in both deployment and upgrade in one canister. Each trading environment requires 3 canisters deployed, the first few environment setups all succeeded, however, the last one failed to proceed no matter how we tried. Query by the canister ID, dfx canister --network ic status, we found that the canister balance value was close to the maximum status of u64. At that time, I suspected that there was an underflow incident in the cycle balance, and proceeded to restore and upgrade the wallet, but also reported as an error. Therefore, I reported this problem to our community technical exchange group to see how others may fix this issue. In the meantime, I also submitted the incident to Dfinity team via [securitybugs@dfinity.org](mailto:securitybugs@dfinity.org). Paul Liu saw my message in the group and immediately contacted me and worked on resolving the problem.

On May 13th, we received the bounty rewards from Dfinity [https://dashboard.internetcomputer.org/transaction/64e1ef167ccd5f21be572f2ce13435daf102563a44759ea30bffbf168d23639f](https://dashboard.internetcomputer.org/transaction/64e1ef167ccd5f21be572f2ce13435daf102563a44759ea30bffbf168d23639f)
