Why was TRX charged after renting energy?
Energy covers the relevant smart-contract computation, not all on-chain costs. Distinguish the rental payment, its transaction costs and the later USDT transfer’s own fees.
Steps
- 1
Open the USDT transfer receipt. Check execution success or failure, energy, bandwidth and TRX fees separately. A change in the whole wallet balance is not the fee for a single transfer.
- 2
Confirm that the sending address is the address that received energy. Energy must have arrived and remain valid, and another contract call may already have used it.
- 3
Compare the estimate with available energy. An energy shortfall can require caller-side TRX burning, while insufficient bandwidth can incur another fee. Read the failure reason before retrying.
