### Important Limitations & Troubleshooting
#### Pool Utilization Cap
* There is a cap on utilization through trading of any pool at 90%
* Withdrawing/burning FLP is possible under most conditions
* If utilization reaches 100% from withdrawals and max utilization by traders, burning FLP to receive the desired token will not be possible until utilization drops below 100%
Token Ratio Restrictions
{% columns %}
{% column %}
**Minting Issues:**
* If a token is at its **Ratio Max**, FLP will not be mintable using that token
* **Solution:** Try minting using another token present in FLP (e.g., if SOL is at ratio max, try ETH, BTC, or USDC)
{% endcolumn %}
{% column %}
**Burning Issues:**
* If a token is at its **Ratio Min**, FLP will not be burnable for that token
* **Solution:** Try burning to receive another token as the receiving asset (e.g., if SOL is at ratio min, try ETH, BTC, or USDC)
{% endcolumn %}
{% endcolumns %}
### Fee Structure
#### Minting FLP Fee
A dynamic fee that depends on the balance of assets in FLP after the liquidity is added.
**Formula:**
$$
MintFee\_{total} = LP\_{addVariable}+LP\_{addBase}
$$
#### Burning FLP Fee
A dynamic fee that depends on the balance of assets in FLP after the liquidity is removed. An additional 5bps (0.05%) penalty fee is also added to discourage frequent withdrawals.
**Formula:**
$$
BurnFee\_{total}=LP\_{removeVariable}+LP\_{removeBase}+LP\_{penaltyFee}
$$
***
### Technical Fee Calculation Details
The components of fees are calculated using the following formulas:
#### **For Adding Liquidity:**
$$
LP\_{addVariable}=M(Ratio)+b \ M = \frac{Fee\_{target}-Fee\_{min}}{Ratio\_{target}-Ratio\_{min}} \ b=Fee\_{min}-M(Ratio\_{min})
$$
#### **For Removing Liquidity:**
$$
LP\_{removeVariable}=M(Ratio)+b \ M = \frac{Fee\_{target}-Fee\_{max}}{Ratio\_{target}-Ratio\_{min}} \ b=Fee\_{max}-M(Ratio\_{min})
$$
| Token | Fee Target | Fee Max | Base Fee |
| ----------------- | ---------- | ------- | -------- |
| Pool 1 Tokens | 0.0010 | 0.0025 | .0005 |
| Pool 3/4/5 Tokens | .0015 | .00375 | .00075 |
| USDC (Pool 1) | .0010 | .00025 | .0005 |
