The 1.30.1 patch has a bug where a peace offer that is bigger than 75 and includes ducats as a demand may end up giving you less ducats than what the peace offer interface tells you (it has been reported). This is crucial since you may be misled into a bad position where you think that you are gonna receive more gold than what you actually get, but there is a way to work around this bug at least until it gets fixed.
Basically what you need to do is to avoid demanding for the maximum amount of ducats in the peace deal if the offer is already at 52 before adding any ducats. The actual maximum amount of money that you can get can be determined by using this table:
This is because for some reason -- a bug most likely -- once the WarScore for a peace offer goes over 75, the amount of actual received ducats will decrease linearily. So you can receive 25% worth of ducats at 75% total WarScore in your peace offer, but at 80% total WS you will only receive 20% worth even if the peace offer interface indicates otherwise; likewise, at 95% total WS you can only receive 5% worth of ducats after the peace is signed. Therefore, in order to maximize the gold received, you must look for a sweetspot between your current peace offer value without ducats and the maximum peace offer value (100), which will be on the middle (half the amount of the Available WS from the table).
So in this example, given that the peace offer value is currently at 83 without including any ducats, the sweetspot will be at 17/2 = 8.5 ~ 9. Which means you should add 9 worth of WS in the ducats section to get the highest possible amount. Adding more than 9 will end up with you receiving less than the indicated amount by the interface, which is super annoying.
I've put together a very simple calculator to help me with this. It has also helped me to correctly predict how much money I was going to receive in my Muscovy run and in other sandbox scenarios. I'm attaching it in case anyone finds it helpful. Hopefully this will get a hotfix soon!
