My variable is using move_toward() to quickly

I used to have similar code that worked perfectly fine, but at some point it stopped working.
Basically, vault_strength is getting immediately moved toward 0 even if vault_boost_decay is set to an extremely small number.

I have Git, but I had so many random unnamed commits that I have no clue which caused the bug.

How do I slow the decay?

func ascend(delta:float):
	#Update boost after vault
	vault_strength = move_toward(vault_strength, 0, vault_boost_decay * delta)
	vault_vel = dir * vault_strength

	#Detection
	if Input.is_action_just_pressed("jump"):
		jump_buff = get_tree().create_timer(ascend_buff_time)

	#Jump or vault
	if jump_buff.time_left > 0:
		#Vaulting
		if vault_cast.is_colliding():
			if Vector3.UP.dot(vault_cast.get_collision_normal(0)) > 0:
				#Update timers
				jump_buff = get_tree().create_timer(0)
				jump_debounce = get_tree().create_timer(ascend_cool)

				#Local vars
				var vault_diff := vault_cast.get_collision_point(0) - global_position
				var height:float = vault_power + vault_diff.y * vault_power_growth

				#Apply impulses
				base_vel.y = height
				base_vel.x *= vault_speed_multi
				base_vel.z *= vault_speed_multi

				#Stacking?
				if vault_boost_stack:
					vault_strength += vault_boost
				else:
					vault_strength = vault_boost

				#Play animation
				anim_plr.play("Vault")

				#Handle collisions
				if dir.dot(Vector3(vault_diff.x, 0 , vault_diff.z).normalized()) > 0:
					collision.disabled = true
					await get_tree().create_timer(vault_clip_time).timeout
					collision.disabled = false
				#Return to prevent jump
				return

Vault boost decay used to be around 4 and the boost lasted around a second before idk how

How do you call this ascend function? Maybe you added some additional calls that you forgot about and now it’s being called multiple times a frame? Essentially speeding up the move_toward.

Try adding some print statements for all involved variables to understand what’s happening.
