If it happens repeatedly, he may be accidentally entering too much, or it could just be a one-off mistake...

> How should I bring it up if it happens again next time?
First, I think it would be a good idea to ask about what happened this time. Their response may tell you a lot.
① If they say something like, “I definitely put the full amount in,”
then there’s a good chance they intentionally shorted you, taking advantage of the fact that you didn’t check it on the spot. That feels especially shady. Since there doesn’t seem to be any affection there to begin with, I think you should be cautious about continuing to see them.
② If they say something like, “I thought I put the full amount in, but it was short. I’m sorry—I’ll make up the difference next time,”
then they may have been testing you, but it’s also possible they genuinely made a mistake. Still, they seem to care about you, so if they pay the shortfall next time, they may be someone you can continue seeing.
③ If they say something like, “Could we make that amount your allowance from now on? Things have gotten difficult for me,”
then they should have told you beforehand. Reducing it without discussing it first is basically a sneak attack. They sound pretty problematic, so I think you should reconsider continuing to see them.
That said, if you didn’t bring it up this time because it felt awkward, I think you should check the amount right there next time.
That should make it easier to ask about it on the spot.
