Hi Anton!

two questions:

what were you composing? A new topic, or a reply in an existing topic?
By any chance, did you previously convert a topic to a private message in that forum?

I’m thinking that this caused your UsetStat.post_count (or topic_count) to become negative:

github.com

discourse/discourse/blob/main/app/models/topic_converter.rb#L79

    
      
          def update_user_stats
            # update posts count. NOTE that DirectoryItem.refresh will overwrite this by counting UserAction records.
            # update topics count
            UserStat.where(user_id: posters).update_all('post_count = post_count + 1')
            UserStat.where(user_id: @topic.user_id).update_all('topic_count = topic_count + 1')
          end
          
          
def add_allowed_users
            # update posts count. NOTE that DirectoryItem.refresh will overwrite this by counting UserAction records.
            # update topics count
            UserStat.where(user_id: posters).update_all('post_count = post_count - 1')
            UserStat.where(user_id: @topic.user_id).update_all('topic_count = topic_count - 1')
          
          
  existing_allowed_users = @topic.topic_allowed_users.pluck(:user_id)
            users_to_allow = posters << @user.id
          
          
  if (users_to_allow | existing_allowed_users).length > SiteSetting.max_allowed_message_recipients
              users_to_allow = [@user.id]
            end
          
          
  (users_to_allow - existing_allowed_users).uniq.each do |user_id|

I don’t remember, sorry, was quite a time ago now. I mean, it’s obviously an issue in the code if it can become negative, right?

yep, bug in the code; a 0 check is missing somewhere.
No worries; I’ll look into this soon.
