Disputes and unpaid charges pause waiting work too

While a payment is disputed or charges are unpaid, new work is paused. A Job or Sandbox sent while no capacity was free used to be accepted and left waiting. It is now refused straight away with the same PaymentDisputed or ArrearsOutstanding error, and a dry run shows the same reason. Work on your own Pool is not affected.

The estimate of such work no longer shows a $0.00 hold. It shows no hold and no hourly rate, with a NoCapacity warning or a blocking reason that says why nothing can run it now, because the price is not known until capacity appears. Nodus then holds the first funding period at that price before the work starts, within your balance, your budgets and the work’s maxCostUSD.
