pcli: confusing error about "missing rate data for votable note", unable to vote

[conorsch]

I appear to be unable to vote on a proposal that I submitted today:

❯ pcli q governance list-proposals
#2 ProposalState { state: Some(Voting(Voting)) }    lower proposal voting duration to 1h

❯ pcli tx vote yes --on 2

Error: missing rate data for votable note delegated to penumbravalid132h4e5w3ymadzl2e7tzzrgstg44jewjl7z2wc3h760k62wtje5gsw2w4dv

Why is that? That's not an error I've seen before. Things I've checked:

• definitely using the prebuilt binary for v0.75.0 pcli
• reset view and retried again, no dice
• i do indeed have a small amount of stake bonded against that validator
• that validator is currently "Inactive" and "unbonded"

More info:

Next I'll try undelegating and claiming that undelegation, and see if that resolves.

I have a hunch: because the validator is inactive, maybe is its rate data not being returned when asked for?

[conorsch]

That makes sense: after undelegating, waiting for unbonding, and then claiming the undelegation, I was able to submit delegator votes again. This feels like a bug: if a validator is inactive, then its stake wait shouldn't be computed in the tally, but a delegator should still be able to vote.

This feels like a bug: if a validator is inactive, then its stake wait shouldn't be computed in the tally, but a delegator should still be able to vote.

I don't think I follow. If a validator is inactive, it has no voting power. Delegator votes override validator votes, but there is no validator voting power to override. Voting power is (should be) restricted to stake that participates in consensus.

[plaidfinch]

The missing piece of information here seems to be whether the validator was active at the time the proposal was submitted. If it was, then the delegator should have voting power for the proposal; if it was not, then the delegator should not.

[conorsch]

This is still a problem:

I am unable to submit delegator votes from this wallet due to the error.
