The automatic production of objects is either duplicated in the production computer or the recipe is stuck in the production status. You have to cancel it manually in order to use the CPU again.
Please change that as quickly as possible, it is very annoying if you only want something but then suddenly have 5 pieces and you can't do anything until you empty the CPU's.

Please explain your issue correctly (I don't understand what the problem is), and fill in the template (initial value of the textbox when you open an issue).

I recently started having the same issue after updating to the latest version v8.4.1 from v8.4.0.

Basically what happens is when trying to autocraft using automatic CPU selection, it tries to run the crafting on all available CPUs for some reason (thus crafting amount*CPU's available which is why he says you have to cancel manually since he ran out of resources for that much).
Also if you select an individual CPU, it runs the autocraft but the menu doesn't close and acts as if the autocraft hasn't been triggered.

I have tried replicating this issue on an isolated network since mine was quite large and it produced the same results. (note that there were no sticks in the system prior to autocrafting)

Can't reproduce in 1.17, sorry. Please open a new issue if the issue happens again in 1.17.

Pardon me but is 1.16.5 deprecated now or something?

Do also note that this is likely due to an addon, but if you can reproduce this with AE2 alone we might look into fixing it, as it's quite critical.

We rewrote a lot of the autocrafting code to support fluid autocrafting, so we'd rather not fix issues in code that doesn't exist anymore in the latest version.
