You just have to be careful for three items:
1. Any new members joined since the script has run will change the outcome by removing an extra % per user extra.
2. If a member has added money to their account would have extra money removed.
3. Honestly since the increase was a % of a lower number and the now starting numbers will be higher then more money would be removed. For example if someone had 500 credits and after the script ran they now have 1000 credits. 1% of 1000 > 1% of 500.
So you would need to find some way to split up the % to remove versus the number of times the original script ran (or the total number of members at the time of the cronjob).
OR
If all this math is too much for you (it almost is for me) I would suggest that you find who has the most money. Do a rule of thumb and remove that % from everyone. Some may end up with more than they originally had and some may end up with less but at least it would be a bit fair.
