/characters/{character_id}/cspa/ returning incorrect values

[CarbonAlabel]

The cost reported by the endpoint is inconsistent with the cost reported by the game client.

Example:

POST /latest/characters/93265215/cspa/?datasource=tranquility HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: curl/7.35.0
Host: esi.tech.ccp.is
Content-Type: application/json
Accept: application/json
Authorization: Bearer *****
Content-Length: 25

{"characters":[92168909]}

Returns:

HTTP/1.1 201 CREATED
Server: nginx
Date: Thu, 01 Dec 2016 00:11:09 GMT
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: 11
Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET,POST,DELETE,PUT,PATCH,OPTIONS
Access-Control-Expose-Headers: Content-Type,Authorization

Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000
Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true
Via: 1.1 google
Alt-Svc: clear

{"cost": 0}

The client disagrees:

Was a change made that fixed it or just not able to repro?

[CarbonAlabel]

@Regner unable to repro, seems to be limited to my main character only.

[CarbonAlabel]

This is still occurring, and I've had a couple other people approach me with the same problem: for certain characters, ESI always responds with a CSPA cost of 0, contrary to that shown by the client.

Please reopen.

Still occurring five years later — appears to return always zero.
