Interest reserve calc blowing up my models… fix?

I’ve used multiple different models and for some reason in the development model it keeps getting blown up (errors throughout the central cash flows) and I can’t ctrl +z and go back after it errors out. Almost certain this is because of the interest reserve and always happens when I adjust my project schedules.

Any development gurus know what I’m talking about and/or how to fix? This is killing me!!

I've dealt with circuit breakers before and an Associate had it in, but genuine question isn't the model too complex if you need one? The one I worked on had many sets of the same cash flows and was built off an existing base that was modified and added to over time. Seems like the model is too complex if you're having to dig through errors for 20 minutes to find the issue to fix (which I've done).

A circuit breaker just iterates your loan sizing manually instead of using circular references. It's not a complex feature nor does it make the model complex.
