instrument_not_chargeable

HTTP 409, type conflict_error.

That payment instrument can no longer be charged.

Why it happened​

The instrument was detached, or is otherwise not chargeable any more. The message says which.

How to fix it​

Subscribe with a different card, saved from a checkout payment for this customer. If this card was detached, saving it again does not bring it back today: a card your account has already saved is found by its number and reused as it is, still detached. If you need this card, contact support with the request id.

Retrying: retry only after fixing the instrument, to a different card that can be charged. This refusal happens while the request is processed, after its Idempotency-Key is claimed, so send the corrected request with a new Idempotency-Key.
