When using the Router Utility to upgrade any Chip with any type or number of Upgrade, the Upgrade are consumed and the slot in the Router Utility does not turn green. Using shift to examine the Chip displays a Chip with no upgrades. Using the Chip in a Pipe the behavior is consistent with a non upgraded Chip.

No relevant entries appear in the client log. The only ProjectRed error in the Server log is:
