I was not clear whether you're suggesting:
A. add the line you've suggested to my declaration of budget accounts
B. replace my existing budget account line with this one
I've tried both A and B and I'm still getting errors with both: "Internal
Server Error: The server encountered an internal error and was unable to
complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there is an error
in the application."
Here is my full beancount file for reference. Perhaps you can tell me what
I'm doing wrong?
