What This Means
The customer has exceeded the maximum number of transactions or withdrawal attempts allowed by their bank in a given period. This is common with debit cards that have daily transaction limits. SaaS businesses should retry on the next business day.
Smart retry logic can recover this payment. Use exponential backoff and retry after 24-72 hours.

FAQ
When does the transaction limit typically reset?
Most banks reset daily transaction limits at midnight in the cardholder's time zone. Some banks use a rolling 24-hour window. Retrying the next business day is the safest approach.
Does this affect credit cards too?
Transaction count limits are much more common on debit cards. Credit cards typically have spending amount limits rather than transaction count limits. If you see this frequently, your customer base may have a high proportion of debit card users.
