for no cursor we have issue here #2744. When you say that tip doesn't go through what do you mean by that?

[DarkShimy00]

The amount is not deduced in a timely manner or simply not at all. After restarting the browser a day later, some of my tips were not sent and I received an error message (forgot to write it down); but one was sent. I had enough BAT to send.

After trying again today, it appears to work correctly, perhaps it was a server issue on your side. The thing is, the user should not have to guess if it was sent or not. If it isn't sent immediately it should just pop an error message right away, rather than succeeding (or not) after a day.

@DarkShimy00 you are correct, there was a server issue on our side.

Additionally, I agree with you that a user should not have to guess what's going on. We have this issue logged to improve the tipping error flow #2453

I'm going to close this issue for now, please do use the linked issue to follow the progress on improving the error flow for tipping.
