I paid. Split 75% to me (user 94211279) and 25% to Suhas (user 24465843).
Date: May 2, notes: "Niagara Falls trip dinner"

Create a group:

Create a Splitwise group called "Barcelona Trip 2026", type trip,
and add user 24465843 as a member.

Update an expense date/notes:

Update expense 4451638821 — set date to 2026-03-19 and notes to "Turo car rental booking"

Notes

• Dates are automatically normalized to noon UTC to avoid timezone display issues in the Splitwise app
• All splits must sum exactly to the total cost
• Use list_groups and list_group_members to find IDs before creating expenses
