@rlinoz FYI I haven't added the External label as I wasn't 100% sure about this issue. Please take a look and add the label if you agree it's a bug and can be handled by external contributors

[m-natarajan]

We think that this bug might be related to #vip-vsb

[rlinoz]

I am seeing this in both prod and staging, can you please confirm @m-natarajan?

[m-natarajan]

@rlinoz in production, only visible to you is not shown when receipt is scanning and also after completed. But in staging it does show when scanning and even after completed.
Not sure if this is same RCA as #42169

[rlinoz]

Oh I got it...yeah, it looks like the same root cause as the issue you pointed to, thanks!

Although it is weird that it doesn't happen in prod, let me investigate.

Ok, it is coming from this changes from 0 to -1:

I don't think they are doing anything wrong, it just uncovers the same problem the other issue linked issue #42169 is addressing.

We can close this in favor of that issue, given the real problem is in the backend since the message has the properties to make it a whisper.

Closing in favor of #42169
