#### Causes

This error occurs when some required parameters are either missing or invalid.

On [recurring card pay-ins](/api-reference/recurring-card-payins/recurring-card-payin-object), this error may also be caused when the 10th pay-in is attempted against the same registration object. One registration object can only be used for a maximum of 99 pay-ins, both CIT and MIT included.

#### What to do

On recurring card pay-ins, you need to restart the recurrence by creating a new registration object. This will require the user to authenticate with an initial CIT. See the [how-to guide](/guides/payment-methods/card/recurring/how-to) for details on setting up a new recurring flow.

#### Example

In the example below, the error was returned upon making a recurring pay-in.
