Brother Monkey: I’m just selling a few $MACHINE, and it forces me to authorize a million of them? What kind of bizarre nonsense is this!

I ran into a ridiculous problem today while selling $MACHINE on http://elysiummachines.xyz/swap.

Even though the authorization had succeeded, the swap button kept showing “Authorize.”

I tried authorizing several times, but it still didn’t work.

I finally figured out why after asking Claude Code.

Another Agent just told me the authorization had succeeded and asked me to refresh the page.

When it mattered, Claude Code came through. It went straight into the website’s code, checked the on-chain records, and finally found the problem:

This website requires an authorization allowance of over one million tokens for the authorization to count as successful!

I had clearly selected “Unlimited approval” in my wallet, but it still wouldn’t recognize it.

In the end, Claude Code told me to manually enter 1000001, and it actually worked—I was able to sell.

I’m only selling a few coins. Why do I have to authorize over a million?

Because of this stupid problem, I ended up paying authorization fees several extra times for nothing.

Never seen anything like this before. Unbelievable!
