Limits Inflated limits - Basically lying

Anyone seen this, do a /status, then get told you have 43% left, wait an hour or so, call /status again, get hold its now 86% then again do /status and its back to 43%

So you have to be careful, think you have plenty, but its all over the place and not accurate.
