Another minor issue. I was about to sell 122 million shards to Amlodd. The chat box says I am selling items for 2.157b. This is obviously not correct since 122 million shards at 25 gp ea is well over 3 billion.

Not gonna trade anything in just yet. Too many bugs still,

I don't see this issue myself, I don't know about the others. Regardless you are seeing a bug, why not just sell ALL your spirit shards directly back to a summoning NPC for 25 gp always and immediately? You don't have to wait for anybody to buy them on a GE queue and takes who knows how long?

you being the jagex amen choir never see problems where they exist in this game with updates.

That said, the issue is real. I was trying to sell 3.1b worth of shards and the chatbox clearly stated that I was about to sell the old max cash amount (2.147b and change). So seeing that chatbox should I trust that jagex will get me the correct amount or will I be screwed out of 900m? Trust jagex? I think not. So I canceled the sale. Not about to be the test case to lose out on 900m.

The bottom line is that jagex publishes a new item encouraging people to sell those shards back but fails to mention that you might not get what you should if you have a sale that exceeds the old max cash amount.

It can be tested easily and safety if you really want to, although I have mentioned you can sell the shards directly to a summoning NPC for a full 25 gp a piece price immediately and without limit.

Instead of selling 3.1 bil worth of shards, you can try previous-max-cash+25 gp worth of price. I tried that and it works fine for me. Even if it didn't (for whatever reason for whatever player) all they could lose would only be 25 gp.

you can sell in batches but that just makes it more inconvenient. The reality is the max cash update is pretty much halfassed and the post on it is very misleading. On the one hand, jagex mentions that you cant hold more than 2.1b SHARDS in your bank, but doesnt mention gp. Then goes on to encourge players to sell off all their shards, without mentioning the sell limit with the player trusting to jagex to have coded it accurately. Given the number of bugs that show up in the game on a regular basis, Im not inclined to trust their coding.

That said, it turns out your bank cannot hold more than 2.1b gp either. I tested this and it wont take more than 2.1b gp. So no doubt this applies to ALL bankable items, NOT justs shards as mentioned in the news post. It wouldnt have been hard for jagex to say that in the news post rather than singling out shards and leaving the rest to assumptions.

In addition, your inventory cannot hold more than 2.1b gp either as I tested this also so this limit very like applies to all items placed in inventory.

The bottom line is that only the money pouch, trade window, and ge have had the max cash limit increased. All other limits are still at 2.1 b. Once again, it would not have been difficult to state this precisely in the news post.

Have you even tried it? You wrote you cancelled your trade so how could you accuse Jagex of this or that if you didn't even bother to try?

As I mentioned, you stand to lose almost nothing to try anything if you test it safe way like I did - the post right before your last one.

But those limits have nothing to do with max cash. They are limits on how large stacks can be. A stack of coins in your bank or inventory is still just that, a stack of an item, with the same limit as a stack of any other item.

Maybe they should remove the option of withdrawing money into the inventory and also banking them. That could remove some confusion. Money should only ever be in the money pouch.

So it turns out that the 'Sell All' option will actually sell 85,899,345 shards at a time, depositing 2,147,483,625gp into your money pouch.

If you have more than this, you just have to use 'Sell All' several times until they've all sold.

To clarify something, the update is limited only to the Money Pouch. Items stored in your inventory or bank are unaffected and still limited to the same 2,147,483,647 stack limit.
The money pouch is now able to store an additional 1,000,000,000 max cash stacks as of the update (1,000,000,001x max cash in total.)

Pretty much this. No change to items and gp in our bank and inventory, therefore no risk to lose them and exploits to dupe them are significantly reduced. This is the extremely high quality of life update we have all been waiting for in all of the 22 years of Runescape.
