These fees where distributed pro-rata to all stakers at that time. This proposal, if passed, would spend 16,000 ALTHEA from the community pool to refund these fees. This represents ~0.3% of the total community pool supply. While it is impossible to overpay fees in the EVM by design, the CosmosSDK environment is not so forgiving, the Althea L1 cli has been updated to warn users when they are about to spend an unusual amount on fees. Ideally in the future a transaction in the CosmosSDK environment would subtract only the amount in fees truly needed. Despite the undesirable outcome this behavior is not strictly speaking a bug. This proposal is not intended to set a precedent around refunding for bugs in the core chain software, or a precedent about what constitutes a bug. Instead we propose that this and any future refunds continue to be evaluated by governance on a case by case basis.
