Is it possible that my Neuron stopped dissolving by itself at some point?

Hello!

I have 2 neurons; 1 for 8 years and 1 that would have dissolved somewhere halfway next year. I just checked and it wasn’t dissolving, so now clicked dissolve again and it’ll be dissolved jan 26 :hatched_chick:

Is it possible that a neuron stops dissolving for any kind of reason or am I missing something?

The two possibilities are that

  1. a/the neuron owner manually stopped the dissolve process
  2. there is a bug that set the neuron to be non-dissolving by accident

Since this is the first time I hear about such a situation I am inclined to point to option 1

Would it be possible to find out whether or not this is a bug? I reckon a lot of people wouldn’t notice for a long time as when you click to dissolve you forget about it until it reaches it’s dissolvement

The way to confirm something is a bug is either to show reliably how to achieve the unintended result or to show in the code that something happens that shouldn’t.

Yes, and that makes it much harder to show :slightly_frowning_face:

Well if it didn’t dissolve on january 16th 2026 we’ll know there’s a bug. Thanks!

Just thinking, is there any kind of logging (or data written in blocks) where could be visible if it was a user action or what code was running just before the dissolving stopped (indeed if the user shared the relevant II in a private chat with DFINITY)? What I mean is basically some kid of auditing system…
