I control a chest containing Agricultural Science on Gleba with a circuit network, which detects if Agi. Sci. is actually being consumed or not, to control production and rocket launches.

The cargo ships are waiting over Gleba, requesting Agricultural Science.

As the circuit is not perfect yet, it sometimes pulses the 'make science available' signal to the chest.

The rocket silos then lock in a state requesting 1k agricultural science each, which is not available anymore, and do not delete the request (or even trash agi sci which has already been loaded) and prevent further requests from other space platforms, e.g. my Bioflux shuttle.

What did you do?

Control the availability of an item to the circuit network via activating or deactivation the chest containing it.

What happened?

Automatic space platform requests get blocked by the rocket silo being stuck waiting for said item, which is not available to the logistics network anymore.

What did you expect to happen instead?

I expect the rocket silo to delete the request and trash the already delivered items, as soon as the request can't be fulfilled anymore.

Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?

Always.

Thanks for the report however this is not how rocket logic is setup to work. Once a request is made it is expected that you keep producing the items for the silo to launch them.
