Hello, Since neither the spendingLimit nor the totalAdjustments is including the overcharge credit, I'm tempted to say that it's working as intended. You may want to change the check you make vs. the reporting data to see if you've spent *at least* as much as your spending limit indicates, rather than *exactly* as much, which may get around the issue.
I don't think we should start including overcharge credits in the spendingLimit either, since people have been using the spendingLimit as is for quite some time, and having the numbers increase across the board (potentially) would be alarming for users. Maybe the best compromise might be to add a field explicitly to indicate overcharge credits. Would that help you? Note that this is not a promise that we may ever actually build such a thing, but I could file a feature request if you provide a strong use case.
