XML API stopped updating character total skill points

o7 All,

I've been working on a suite of web based tools for my corporation for several months now, and it's been going very well so far. However, in the last month I have noticed that that the XML API has stopped updating my total skill points. Currently I have over 32m skill points, but the API only reflects 30.4m.

I've had a dozen or so skills finish training, I've paused and restarted my queue, and it still will not reflect the correct value in the API.

Unless I've missed something, skill points are only found in the characterInfo endpoint, because for whatever reason it's not in the characterSheet endpoint where it should be (in my opinion, at least).

Does anybody have any information about this bug?

Thanks in advance,

Sir Francis Bacon

UPDATE:

The problem still persists, however I have found that by adding all the skill points for each individual skill in CharacterSheet.xml gives me the correct total. Running that loop isn't a huge performance hit, but it is still more processing than I should have to do, considering that the API should have done this already. X.

I need to check which endpoint I am using, but I am not seeing this behaviour.
Please note that only skills that you finished training will count to the characters skillpoints (not half finished skills).

edit: I am using this endpoint: https://api.eveonline.com/eve/CharacterInfo.xml.aspx
