unpaid payouts not found for previous epochs (on kusama)

[lux8.net]

I've some epochs unpaid atm on Kusama validator and script was able to make payout only for last one, but not for the previous: 2,855, 2,859-2,861 still unpaid (need to proceed them manually)

If there are eras prior to the last claimed epoch you need to manually tell the CLI to check. For example, if you add -e 8, it will check the 8 eras prior to the last claimed era. You can read more about the available options here: https://github.com/canontech/staking-payouts#options

As an example scenario: if you call the collect every 3 days and you want to guarantee every era for the last 3 days is checked on Kusama you could set -e 12, to make sure it checks at least 12 eras prior to the last collected. (We know each era is 6 hours, so 72hours / 6hours = 12era).

For context, I could make the CLI check the last 84 eras by default, but this would take an incredibly long time and increases the chance of a websocket interruption while its running.

Feel free to reopen if this does not answer your question.
