Add a hold feature when FTS is negative

One thing that annoyed me with Simple was when I forgot to go into the app for the last week and my Safe to Spend was negative there by my disruption wouldn't work with my expenses. It would be awesome of the schedule to distribute funds could be "held" until you cleaned up your transactions.

Hey (again)!! I'm a bit iffy with this as a negative Free-to-Spend should mean that you currently don't have enough money to meet your current bill payments. If you have money in your buckets when a transaction is synced then DAS will still auto-spend from that bucket (not touching FTS) if that's what you're worried about. I don't think users should be able to go even more negative in Free-to-Spend to give them a false representation that they're okay for funding (as sometimes they are NOT actually okay). Hopefully, your auto-spending from buckets are working well enough that DAS is catching your transactions and now spending from Free-to-Spend (if not, feel free to DM me in-app to better improve this!!) For funding schedules, DAS will keep trying to fund your buckets for 26 hours once the funding period has begun. If you don't have enough money, DAS will soon let you know which buckets weren't funded and the amount that should've gone in (feature in-progress, see attached picture for a sneak peek 👀 https://feedback.dasbudget.com/requests/p/funding-schedule-s…)

Anthony: sold on the feature to come! Not exactly what I was thinking but just as good or better :)

Jeremy Jones: AMAZING! Thanks for sharing your feedback! Hopefully, this gives even more visibility into users' buckets in DAS.
