AUDIOUSDT / GALUSDT: positive-volume minute at announced settlement time #497

Description

@ibachni

Could you clarify the interpretation of these two USD-M perpetual kline archives?
The notices schedule automatic settlement at 09:00 UTC and removal after
settlement completes. The archives report positive volume and nonzero trade counts
in the minute beginning at 09:00. I have not assumed these are erroneous, that
they remain executable ordinary trades, or that they can safely be discarded.

Contract Scheduled settlement (UTC) 09:00-minute base volume Trades Close Previous minute close
AUDIOUSDT 2024-05-16 09:00 90 1 0.1632 0.1630
GALUSDT 2024-07-11 09:00 12,531 133 2.4750 2.5075

Official sources and retained bytes

The AUDIO notice
specifies May 16 for AUDIOUSDT; its May 15 date applies to other contracts.
The GAL notice
specifies July 11 for the perpetual, distinct from its spot/margin dates.

These files and provider checksums were acquired on September 6, 2026 UTC;
the retained bytes were rechecked locally. This is not a claim that the current
download URLs still serve those revisions.

Exact CSV rows

Each block contains 08:59 and 09:00. Fields follow Binance's kline format:
open time, open/high/low/close, base volume, close time, quote volume, trade count,
taker-buy base volume, taker-buy quote volume, ignored field.
The 09:00 row covers [09:00, 09:01); its raw close timestamp is 09:00:59.999.

Clarification requested

  1. Do these 09:00-minute prints represent ordinary executions, settlement-generated
    records, or archive errors? What evidence distinguishes those cases?
  2. What were the actual trading-cessation and settlement-completion times for
    each contract, and where can their historical outcome/price be verified?
  3. If the archives are incorrect, are corrected files and replacement checksums
    available? If the rows are expected, is their interpretation documented?

The current delisting FAQ
describes a general settlement formula, but is updated in 2026 and does not identify
these specific prints. Its 30-second restriction window is not assumed to be a
historical settlement-delay allowance. A contract-specific clarification would
avoid either dropping valid events or assigning an unsupported stop time/price.
