revocation_of_authorizationDo not retryStripe decline code: Revocation of authorization
The customer revoked authorization for this charge.
Recovery outlook
Do not retry. A hard or fraud-flagged decline. Retrying wastes attempts and can raise your fraud signals. Flag it and move to a new payment method.
What it means
The cardholder told their bank to stop authorizing this specific recurring payment.
Why it happens
The customer requested cancellation of the recurring charge directly with their issuer instead of through you.
Can you retry it?
This is a cancellation signal. Don't retry. It's effectively a customer opt-out. Reach out to understand why and offer to resolve or cancel cleanly.
