Question: Can anyone simulate case overflow block gas limit?

[VictorTrustyDev]

Context

Can someone explain to me how 3x transactions with gas limit 36m can be included in a single block like this?

Is the validator altered their Tendermint/CometBFT to bypass the logic check total gas during collect txs from mempool for proposal?

ENG-2471 Issue 2273

This is the expected behaviour. If the gas used doesn't reach a certain threshold we consume half of the gas limit.

The code that tackle this issue:

        // calculate a minimum amount of gas to be charged to sender if GasLimit
	// is considerably higher than GasUsed to stay more aligned with Tendermint gas mechanics
	// for more info https://github.com/evmos/ethermint/issues/1085
	gasLimit := math.LegacyNewDec(int64(msg.Gas()))
	minGasMultiplier := k.GetMinGasMultiplier(ctx)
	minimumGasUsed := gasLimit.Mul(minGasMultiplier)
	if !minimumGasUsed.TruncateInt().IsUint64() {
		return nil, errorsmod.Wrapf(types.ErrGasOverflow, "minimumGasUsed(%s) is not a uint64", minimumGasUsed.TruncateInt().String())
	}
	if msg.Gas() < leftoverGas {
		return nil, errorsmod.Wrapf(types.ErrGasOverflow, "message gas limit < leftover gas (%d < %d)", msg.Gas(), leftoverGas)
	}

@ramacarlucho I understood and know how it was handled but I was asking about simulate the case. Please reopen the ticket, I still need to know how to simulate the block.

Thanks for reporting this issue @VictorTrustyDev We'll investigate this further

Just to clarify, the issue is that there's this block that consumed more gas than allowed Block max gas is 40M and this block has 54M gas used

[VictorTrustyDev]

Yeah, 3 evm txs each consume half of max gas 18m (of 36m) is already 54m.
