+title: Fix storage weight reclaim bug.
+
+doc:
+  - audience: Runtime Dev
+    description: |
+      A bug in storage weight reclaim signed extension is fixed. The bug was causing an underestimate of the proof size when the post dispatch info was underestimating the proof size and the pre dispatch info was overestimating the proof size at the same time.
