I was wondering becuse i have two different wheels for the same bike, but two different casette sizes one 36 and one 30 this chain i measured to fit my 30t casette but it sees to fit the 36 as well maybe. I know the safety would be to get a new 30t casette but thats expensive.

Looks too short to me. SRAM’s measurement is usually based on cassette’s largest cog and largest chainring, jumping 6t on the back will likely make the chain too short for the 10-36 cassette.
If you measured using a 10-33 it might be safer to fit both the 30 and the 36 but it’ll still be outside their spec.
did you size the chain as per manufacturers instructions?

Too short if you get stuck in that gear, have to stop and move by hand.
Otherwise, try not to cross chain
Sram has a super easy way to measure chain length. Wrap the chain around the biggest cog front and back without going through derailleur. Find out where you connect them then add 2 inner and 2 outer links.
i can feel the pain
One link less and I think that the rear derailleur would snap.
You should never have the chain on the big cha8n ring and the big sprocket. You will cause excessive wear and are more likely to break the chain.
This in the photo is fine. It still bends even when cross-chained in big-big. This is not a gear you should ever really use long term *but* if you accidentally do you shouldn’t have the chain being so short that it destroys a chainring. Mission accomplished.
If this is the 30 and you’re asking whether it’s work for the 36, that I cannot tell. It might be very marginal.
To short! 1 or 2 segments more
