Note: Window pulled today is 8/28–9/4, 21 transactions.
Leak detection
Alma charged 3x identical $166.00 same day (9/3, pending, Amex Platinum). This is the third consecutive month of a shifting multi-charge pattern: $139.90 x1 (7/30) → $150.00 x4 (8/16, still unconfirmed) → $166.00 x3 (9/3). Likely batched per-session therapy billing, but never confirmed with Alma/insurance. Noted on all 3 transactions; added Alma to known-recurring.json as a variable monthly stream. Still needs Leif to confirm with Alma/insurance this is legitimate.
Everything else routine: West 35th Apothecary $75.00 (8/31, settled — already logged 9/1), Backblaze $0.82 (8/29, already logged), MoMA $30.00 (8/29, already logged), Patreon $3.00 (8/28, already logged), Fidelity $600 autoinvest (8/29, third occurrence, already logged, still awaiting Leif's confirmation the new $600 amount is intentional). Amazon charges ($29.98, $26.08, $32.64) are ordinary one-off purchases, not a subscription pattern. Regular restaurant/grocery spend (Inday, Mani Market Place, Cha Cha Matcha, Salud Isshiki) — nothing unusual. No new unrecognized merchants, no bank/interest/late fees, no amount increases on tracked streams.
Wrong card
Nothing this window violates the wrong-card heuristics (no flights, no Amex-credit-eligible subscription charged to Chase).
Amex credits (month-end check — skipped, not within 5 days of month-end)
September window opens 9/26–9/30.
Reimbursables
No MealPal/OpenAI/Equinox charges in this window, so nothing new to tag. No 45-day thresholds crossed today — next due: Equinox 7/23 ($360.53) on 9/6, MealPal 7/29 ($151.34) on 9/12.
Idle cash (weekly, Monday — skipped, today is Friday)
Not checked this run.
Next run: daily 8:30am ET.
