What PlatformDTC does
For Checkout.com 20064, PlatformDTC's checkout does not offer PayPal card fields or any backup processor. Unlisted codes never reroute, because guessing wrong costs more than the one recovery it might win. Checkout.com 20064 is not yet in PlatformDTC's renewal table, so a renewal declined with it follows the store's normal retry schedule and is logged so it can be classified.
Why it happens
It appears when an amount refers back to an earlier authorization and the figures do not line up.

Compare the amounts on the original and the new payment in the Dashboard before retrying.
