Precautionary settings while sending orders via API


 

Hi guys,?

Not a specific ib_async query but a general query about precautionary settings and API orders.?

I have always bypassed precautionary settings. However, attempted to let the orders go through precautionary settings this time with Total Value Limit of $20k.?
Most of the orders go through fine. However, for some of the orders, I receive error "The Total Value Limit of the following order "ID:XYZ" can not be verified. Restriction is specified in Precautionary Settings of Global Configuration/Presets"

What does this error mean? I am trading SPX Weekly Options and spreads on that. I am placing Spread - Combo - Market Order with IBALGO. The order value is well within $20k. Also, error does not seem to state that "Order Value exceeds the limit". It instead states something like "Value limit can not be verified". Does this mean, somehow, IB server could not get an idea of the Order Value and hence cannot check that precaution pass? And hence it rejects the order?

Anyone else faced similar error and how to circumvent that with precautions in place??

?
