I think this is to prevent everyone to stay at the city forever.

Nonsense.

As long as the region you are in does not suffer from starvation, there is absolutely no effect from provisions. If the city isn't starving, you can stay in it forever.

Actually, I have a character who accumulated 50% provisions and then moved into a region that was not producing food but had sufficient food stored and my provisions are now at 10%.  Is that a bug?  I have not entered a starving region.

Sounds like a bug to me.

Sounds like 2 bugs to me: one that they used provisions at all, and the other that they used so much.

So I'm assuming that I shouldn't be eating my provisions if I'm in a non-starving friendly city?

You shouldn't be eating your provisions if you're in a non-starving region of any type.

The rate is likely about right, it has been probably 2 or3 days.

Ah, I thought you meant it went down to 10% in one day.

If it's been 2-3 days, then yes, that's about right.

Its still happening, at least on EC and BT.

EC: Enter Semall (city) with 80% provisions, at full turn it becomes 60%

BT: Enter Wudenkin at today morning turn, same thing.

I must assert that none of them were starving or going hungry.
Just stay alive and kicking, raise your voice when its needed. Through reason you can show the mistakes of others, something violence can't do.

I don't break rules, I bend them- a lot.
