What you'll see

Field Meaning
payment_failed Charge attempted and rejected.
reason Gateway response (e.g. insufficient_funds, expired_card, do_not_honor).
next_retry_at RecurX's next scheduled attempt.
payment_succeeded Recovery successful.

Manual retry

If a customer updates their card and you don't want to wait for the next scheduled retry, click Retry now. RecurX immediately attempts the saved payment method.

Pause / cancel rules

After the configured maximum retries (default 3), the contract auto-pauses (or auto-cancels — see Payment Recovery settings).

Common causes

  • Expired card — the customer needs to update payment method via the portal.
  • Do not honor — bank-side block; usually transient — next retry succeeds.
  • Insufficient funds — usually paydays resolve it; common cause of day-3 retries succeeding.
