Interval seems to be charging $5 now for adding to an OGS. I just attempted to add WLR in January of 2017 to our existing ongoing search, and a $5 charge appeared at the final approval step, so I cancelled my action. I tried again, and the same thing happened.

Does anyone know anything about this? Will they be charging for deleting, too? For modifying dates?

The exchange fee went up. If you keep your ogs as is and it matches you get the 2015 exchange price. If you add to it, then you pay the 2016 price regardless of what matches.

Yup, just the increase in price. If you delete or modify the OGS, they charge you the new price that went up on 1/1/2016.

Modifying an OGS resets the clock?

If modifying an ongoing search resets the clock with respect to fees, does it also reset the clock with respect to priorities you might have with respect to your position in line?

There is no priority line with II other than the trade power of the unit you are offering up. Date of the request really only matters if there is a tie in trade power. This would probably only come in to play in about 5% or less of all trades. So no need to worry about resetting a clock. I don't know if updating a request firs OGS would recalculate your trade power or not. Deposit first would have no impact since trade power is calculated with you deposit the week.
