Spending limit with large countries

Since a recent update it has become possible to maintain countries with more than 120m population, however the spending limits are still based on countries with 120m population. My main on WG (Giant Bananas) has surpassed 600m population, however the spending limit is killing my ability to sustain. Can this be raised accordingly as well?

I first tried to circumvent this by contracting the necessary supplies, but this will kill my spending limit instantly every month right before the country auto orders its other needs, causing it to fail auto ordering and creating tons of shortages and tanking welfare index. But the spending limit is too low to even move the needle of the roads index, let alone all others, due its size.

You're losing 4.5m population a day. The great Banana exodus. You say your road index won't move but your transportation index graph is going up which makes no sense. What's your supply index at?

I actually moved out pop to repair, so road index is climbing because population is declining.

However auto ordering is not working as it should, it orders amounts way too low, causing massive shortages. I actually don't know why this happens.

Market shortages? If all the products that you're short of are in the red would that explain it?

No it auto orders too low amounts. If it were market shortages, I should see large orders still being pending. But instead I see pending orders with very low amounts, like less than 10% of 1 month of useage. But with some products I noticed it auto ordrs correctly again, some others yet not. Weird.

Weird. What about increasing the order quantities and on the order strategy page?

Already tried but didn't help. I turned it back to default settings yesterday and most products seem to auto order again. Will leave it untouched for a while now and see how that goes.

What you see as pending orders is not what was ordered in the first place.
the numbers decline as partial deliveries take place.
The offers of products on the market are in general smaller than the size of your buying orders.

I tried a country with 550M and did not have these orders problems.
I also did not have problems with the spending limits.
with severe shortages of some products, I did replace some orders with immediate ones to prevent the supply index from sinking.
I think that the main problem is the shortages on the markets.
you just do not get your orders delivered.

Population leakage is receding and will become much much smaller.
We have updated to stabilize the birth numbers and prevented declines. The "stability" in the population groups is spreading but it takes time.

I will look at the spending limits in high population countries.
Increasing the spending limits makes sense fo

We will increase the spending limits by 50% in countries with >60 million population and double the spending limits if the population is >90 million.

Thx for this update. Can something like this be applied to the option to change profession to workers as well? Currently its 200k per month for all sizes.

Same with building corporations per month. Even with booster 3 per month is going to be problematic at some point.
