What is happening

Alert: app server threads all waiting on the gateway; error rate 40%.

Each cash-out request waits for the gateway inside the app server. When the gateway is slow, requests pile up and time out.

Accept cash-outs at once and pay them in the background, without losing or doubling any.

You have 7 changes and 12 minutes. A change is adding or removing a part or a connection, or changing a part’s settings. Fewer changes and less time score higher.
