I'm no genius or a modern pinball owner but generally when something like this happens in code (and not bad RAM, hardware, etc. not letting it write to the credit counter and so on) I would assume the audits got corrupted in the memory and when it tried to +1 the audits for each credit/coin, it freaked out because it couldn't add 1 to 0x0f0f0f0f0f111111BBBC, etc. (and likely reset as a failsafe rather than freaking out)

Quoted from PinMonk:

Considering that you set the maximum credits in the settings, that's just bad coding, then. If the current credits are greater than the maximum credits, the code should adjust the credits down to the maximum number. Could be what it was, but I think it's unlikely because I could add service credits, which aren't a different credit counter - there's only one. More than likely it was some routine related to handling the coin pulses (making the sound, etc) that freaked out and went rogue in the code.
I was just glad a factory reset fixed it.

Didn't say it had anything to do with maximum credits, just meant something likely got corrupted (for any reason) and was only noticeable when it tried to work with that.

I would assume service credits aren't added to the audits, though?
