i should ask how many times did it happen?, i just played on 5 day with Dani and sold the quota ok then on 3 day got caught as Casey then sold the quota ok as grace, so i think maybe you just got a bit unlucky there unfortunately.
i can check further if you tell me if it with a certain char or on 3 or 5 day or any other particulars i can try it further, i will say it's a 1/5 chance to get caught by tentacles
