Hi everyone,I’ve noticed something potentially incorrect in the Veeam Calculator results: When sizing for VMs or Agents, if I set a forecast period of 1 year or more, the result returned is always identical, regardless of how many years are selected, even when a growth rate is applied. I also compared the results with a sizing I completed a few months ago, and the values now returned for a 1-year forecast + growth rate appear to match what used to be calculated as a 3-year forecast at that time. This behavior seems inconsistent, and it makes me wonder if there could be an issue in the calculation logicHas anyone else noticed the same behavior?Would it be possible for to review the calculation logic or code to validate if this could be a bug?Thanks in advance for your feedback!

Has anyone else noticed the same behavior?
Would it be possible for to review the calculation logic or code to validate if this could be a bug?
