Preview expired

preview_expired

The amount this change was confirmed at is too old, so the change was not made and nothing was charged.

What this means​

More than 10 minutes passed between the preview and the confirmation.

How to fix it​

Check the amount again, then confirm.

Retry behavior​

Retry with a new preview.

How it appears in the response​
