GTA Online Hangar Alert: Players reportedly suffer a huge money-making limit

Rockstar Games had applied bonus payouts on Hangar Sell missions in Grand Theft Auto (GTA) Online as part of the latest weekly update. However, many players on Next-Gen consoles reported an unusual problem regarding making money. Selling beyond a certain amount would stop them from receiving the respective payment. Some pointed out that it must be due to the anti-cheat mechanism of the game.

Although the developers have come out with a solution, it is not what most in the player base would agree upon. That said, let's take a closer look at the Hangar money making limit problem in the game.

GTA Online players suffer money-making limit problem in Hangar Sell missions

Twitter user @GhillieYT first reported the GTA Online money glitch concerned with Hangar Sell missions. According to him, some GTA + subscribers were not receiving the payment for selling Hangar cargo amounting to 11 million dollars.

One possible explanation for this was a backend money-making limit, which must not have been changed.

Another user @Viboxing pointed out that while the sale did show up in the new Career Progress menu, the payment did not get transferred.

This business is handing out bonus money and RP as part of the new GTA Online weekly update. Hence, players can earn a much larger income than usual all week.

Therefore, the game's anti-cheat mechanism or a backend limit could prevent unusually high amounts of money from being transferred to players' in-game bank accounts.

Nevertheless, popular Grand Theft Auto YouTuber, Gtamen, came up with a simple trick to bypass the issue. He suggested that selling crates in groups rather than all at once will allow players to receive their due payment.

Hence, they can sell 25 crates at a time instead of 50. While this method takes longer, spending more time instead of losing the bonus payout earned is better.

The title's developer, Rockstar Games, eventually came up with a solution; however, it is not what the player base expected.

Instead of increasing the standard money-making limit, they decreased the maximum high demand bonus for Hangar Sell missions to 18% from 20% on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.

Moreover, this affects not only Hangars but also the Acid Lab Sell missions in the game and is effective for all players.
