​
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 full calendar 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 until the 8th day following the day of the pay-in’s CreationDate before initiating a refund for a direct debit pay-in.

​
Testing

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