NovoPen scanning inconsistent uploading to Nightscout

Your environment

• What version of xDrip: 3e86af7-2023.11.14
• What type of hardware data source and how do you get your data there: Dex Share Follower

Expected behavior

All treatments scanned from the NovoPen should be uploaded from xDrip to nightscout via the REST API but this happens inconsistently

Actual behavior

Normally when I scan my NovoPen the treatments are uploaded to Nightscout in <30 seconds via the REST API, however, there is inconsistently in this, sometimes records do not upload to Nightscout via the REST API. The Nightscout instance is a Digital Ocean droplet with firewall rules configured to only allow HTTP and HTTPS traffic through Cloudflare.

I initially thought this could be caused by firewall rules on Cloudflare but there's nothing being blocked as I allow all traffic in the UK to be whitelisted as I have some displays that fetch data from Nightscout and this simply avoids the issue of manually whitelisting other attributes.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

For example:

1. Enable the insulin pen scanning like so.
   
2. Configure the RESTI API in the Cloud Upload section with a valid API token to allow uploading of treatment data.

4. Tap NovoPen to the back of the phone until the treatments display on xDrip
5. Wait a few minutes at max and see no record being uploaded to my Nightscout instance like so.

As you can see from the screenshots the data is not reflecting what's uploaded to Nightscout.

Please let's talk about this as a discussion before turning it into an issue.

[Navid200]

Can you check the xDrip logs to see if there is any log related to any failed treatment upload to Nightscout?

[rossiscool123]

This is the output from the log when I tried to upload the treatment again after deleting it from xDrip. I assume the "Beyond maximum units value" is the issue but where is this value set? @Navid200

[Navid200]

It is a constant limit in xDrip.

You have taken 170 units of insulin? For real?

[rossiscool123]

If you're talking daily, no. My Nightscout data shows roughly 20-35 units a day. I don't know where 170 has come from.
@Navid200

[rossiscool123]

Is this 170 units in one reading or 170 units in a 24 hour period, the pen has a max reading of 99 before it'll display "Error" on the display and a max dose in one go of 30 units. Interesting where this 170 has come from.

[Navid200]

No, there is no daily limit in xDrip.
But, when you attempt to upload an insulin dose to Nightscout, there is a limit of 60 units. This is there to avoid a typo. I mean there has to be a limit. You can question why 60 and not 59. The answer is that there has to be a reasonable limit for any constant in a program.

I don't know where the value is coming from. But, this is the reason it is not uploaded.

[rossiscool123]

I dosed another two units as a test, this uploaded just fine. But the logs say otherwise. This is what I mean by inconsistent.

[rossiscool123]

So new issue that's coming up.
