# X_README_EXAMPLE_PIN_STALE

## Means

a package's pinned failing-fence count is higher than the number that actually fail

## Typical cause

examples were fixed and the ratchet was not lowered, so the budget would let a new broken fence in for free

## Fix

`bun run scripts/readme-fences.ts --pin` — it only lowers, never raises
