For example, if your balance is divisible by two at midnight, you lose half of that account. Circumventing this effect by moving money between accounts works fine. It's just annoying.

That seems not mild to me because it could actually threaten getting homeless or something if the person does not check at ~23:55 every day for their balance + it probably messes up the sleep time

Fair enough. I feel like they could game the system to prevent disaster, but yeah, being homeless would be anything but mild.

Def not mild, eventually you’ll make a mistake or forget or be too busy or be sick or injured or any number of things and then also be bankrupt.

Since Goldbach's conjecture has been shown to hold for all integers less than 4×10^18^, three accounts would be sufficient. If not, that would be an expensive way to discover a counterexample...
