Stripe decline code

withdrawal_count_limit_exceeded

The card hit a limit on the number of withdrawals or charges allowed within a period set by the issuer.

Why it happens

  • Too many transactions on the card within the period.
  • A daily or per-period count cap was reached.
  • Repeated quick retries used up the allowance.

Should you retry it?

Sometimes — it depends on the issuer

Once the limit window resets, the same card often works. Space retries out rather than attempting repeatedly.

How to recover it

Space retries well apart so the limit can reset, and suggest the customer wait or use another card.

Recoverly retries at 2, 5, 10 and 20 days, up to 4 attempts within a 30-day window.
