# hk50 live lane stop (exec, 21 Oct 2026 22:58 BKK)
**Reason: the bot's own kill switch fired, not a rug and not a crash.** Log: `KILL_SWITCH - live fill 10%+ worse than the GMGN quote, 2 times`, then `LIVE_OFF` at 22:58:00. The bot removed the LIVE file itself.

Trigger buy: 0x0d92477c8d66f2a6a95b83b9526de4e61be1d733, 0.00399 ETH, 8.4 s after pick, quote/fill 0.702 (fill 30% worse than quote). Earlier fills in the same window: 1.113, 1.016, 0.947. The second bad fill counted toward the switch is the 0.947 (20:58) and 0.702 pair.

Context: from 22:39 the local quoter hit public 429s (`local_quote_err`) on two picks. Quote lag and thin pools after 10 s widen the quote/fill gap. This is an entry-latency/slippage problem on hk50 (8-13 s after pick).

State: two buys opened before the stop (0x6020a399..., 0x0d92477c...) stay in the bot's exit watcher. I did not touch them and made no code change. Today's closed hk50 trades: -4.94, -5.53, -1.10, -5.10, -5.64, +20.34 USD.
Restart is Ben-only (LIVE file). Suggest he re-enables only after the 429 bursts ease; I have not changed anything.
