I'm seeing the same issue. I ransomed more than 10 prisoners at 300 each and none of them paid. I restored back to previous autosave and tried again, and the same issue occurred. The prisoners were taken while defending against a holy war, so I thought that maybe the ransom was getting paid to the war chest and I had never noticed before, but the value there isn't changing, either.

It's a display issue. I *am* getting paid, just not the displayed amount. I think this is only affecting courtiers, not landed nobles.

I saw a ransom for "205", and their liege had 260, but in the end I got an, honestly rational, 10 gold for a rando.

You might be right. I just ransomed a Mayor who had 607 gold. It said I would get 300, and when I ransomed him it said "Paid 300 to you" but his gold only dropped by 50, and mine increased by the same.

EDIT: I also verified the game files via Steam and it made no difference.

Hi, Captain Frandad and others in the thread,

Thank you for the report!
We are aware of the issue, it has already been added to our bug database.
Issue here is that the Perk Golden Obligations is mistakenly inflating the ransom values in the window, but you always get the correct amount of gold.

Cheers,
Yes, please!

Thanks for this response. I suppose it depends on your definition of "correct". If the ransom window says 300 then surely 300 is the "correct" amount and the 30 or so is "incorrect". The smaller figure will be the correct figure when the ransom window states that amount (incentive for devs to sort it ASAP ).
