BMU rebuild caused massive phantom usage and kicked non overage customers into slow when triggered state. Its happened before enough times that customers are testy. Got the usage cleared before billing ran, thank jeebus, but the slow when triggered states were still present. Boils down to poor planning on my part at the end of the day, with it being a specific risk I inquired about, I should have known to disable the notification. As a side, if we were a dishonest company, this could have been a great revenue generator, customers are still calling in wanting to upgrade because their usage went up according to the notification email. We are getting it all squared away here in a few minutes though, Ill be back to fanboy status when I get my site mikrotiks turned into BMUs as long as im still employed through the whole project. This all originated from a need to move where NAT took place on the network and save 20 grand on buying more IP space, this is my penance for being cheap.
