What is a payment throttle error?
Payment throttle errors protect your card from being blocked by your bank. This happens when declined transactions are retried too quickly.
To resolve:
- Determine why the transaction was declined (often due to foreign transaction blocks)
- Contact your bank to allow foreign transactions if needed
- Wait 24 hours before retrying payment
