 ### Improvements
 
+* (cli) [\#9856](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/9856) Overwrite `--sequence` and `--account-number` flags with default flag values when used with `offline=false` in `sign-batch` command.
 * (cli) [\#9593](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/9593) Check if chain-id is blank before verifying signatures in multisign and error.
 * (cli) [\#9717](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/9717) Added CLI flag `--output json/text` to `tx` cli commands.
