Causes

This error is triggered on a pay-in refund if the initial pay-in’s PaymentType is DIRECT_DEBIT and its CreationDate was in the last 7 days.

This limitation exists because of the possibility of late failures on direct debit pay-ins, which may occur on a successful pay-in.

What to do

Platforms must wait 7 calendar days before initiating refunds for direct debit pay-ins.

Testing

In a testing scenario, platforms can use the mock available to avoid having to wait 7 days before initiating the refund.
