Thanks a lot dear sir. Exactly but I found some transactions in some watch-only wallets (I used descriptors) that if I check the txid in a bitcoin explorer I get a correct negative fee yet checking them using gettransaction or listtransactions in bitcoin-cli results in positive fees. Can you provide some hints? Commented Nov 17 at 11:13
