To simplify this is the process
- 1st week before economy update -500k or more - first warning
- 2nd week before economy update still -500k or more - second warning
- 3rd week before economy update still -500k or more - bankruptcy is activated.
If any time before the economy update between 1st and 3rd week you have -499k or less the process resets.

This is the correct answer.
Since you didn’t receive your second warning (2nd week). Your bankruptcy process was reset/removed. If you go below -500k before a future economy update you will receive a first warning again.
Thank you very much for your reply/confirmation BB-Justin, I really appreciate it.
As far as I know, you're exactly someone who definitely knows "the nuts and bolts of BB", so there's no doubt in my mind whether or not this answer/confirmation is correct.
It's good to know, that this second warning is indeed being sent, thank you also for confirming that.
Indeed, I did only receive bankruptcy warning on 23rd of May, and not on 30th. Now I'm at -$177K, so based on what you wrote I'm safe for now (without taking any further actions in terms of selling team facilities).As a clarification though I'd have few questions (which are not urgent as this, but I or someone else might be facing similar situation in near future, so answers are highly appreciated):
Did I understand correctly that if you have received a bankruptcy warning (and obviously if it hasn't been lifted due to "better than -$500K economy update") and therefore bankruptcy warning timer is ticking so to speak,
it is not good enough to have "better/less than -$500K balance" at any time during the week , but bankruptcy mechanism always activates if you are at -$500K or worse just right before economy update begins?Hypothetical example on previous question: if I would've received bankruptcy warning on Monday 23rd due to balance being, say, -600K but would have gotten at -450K mark during the week by selling some player or facilities. Then if I'd for example fire some of the staff, bringing me at, say, -$510K right before economy update on Monday 30th.
So few points/questions about that example:A) In this case second bankruptcy warning would always be sent automatically by BB (absolutely without exceptions)?
B) bankruptcy counter only takes a look at situation
right before economy update starts, and "bankruptcy timer" either activates or doesn't activate (or resets, if being triggered earlier) based on that account balance (better or worse than -$500K)?
C) to turn this question around, $-balance that you have on your account
during paying weekly costs during economy update process, or after economy update finishes (which is far less than before it starts), does not ever trigger the bankruptcy process if being "worse than -$500K?
D) on the other hand if in an above example, I wouldn't have fired my staff members and would've remained at -$450K, my "bankruptcy timer" would've been completely reset (and I would've been safe), right? (As far as I understood, you pretty much replied to this D) already, but I wrote it here to serve also as an example)
Sorry if questions aren't as clearly written as possible, but I didn't have now time to write polished answer but were still hoping to ask these things when they're still fresh on mind (hopefully someone else could also benefit from the answers).
As for a suggestion, I'd suggest you guys to consider adding a "bankruptcy danger lifted for now"-message (or however it'd be best to name, but you get the idea) sent after initial warning, if team's balance is good enough (better than -$500K) before economic update starts.
It might take some stress off those otherwise stressful moments, and of course, I'm not the only one that is dealing with these challenges so it might help some others as well.
