Hi there! I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble refilling your call credits. 👋
I can see you're encountering a Stripe payment error when trying to update your payment method. While I don't have visibility into your specific account details, I can definitely help explain what might be happening and suggest some troubleshooting steps.
## Possible Reasons for the Error
There are several potential reasons why you might be seeing the "Your card was declined" error:
1. **Card-related issues**:
- Restrictions on online or international transactions
- Insufficient funds
- Incorrect billing information
- Typos or outdated card information
- Expired card

2. **Bank-related issues**:
- Your bank may have declined the payment and directed Stripe to block future attempts
- [This has happened to other users](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1335754200868716564)
3. **System-level issues**:
- There might be a problem with the billing system itself
- One user reported: "My card I had on file was deactivated and I tried to go in and change the card but your billing system still keeps showing declined even on 5 of my cards... It's definitely a system problem" [according to this thread](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1337916314877952093)
## Troubleshooting Steps
Here are some steps you can try:
1. **Double-check your card details**: Ensure all information is correct, including billing address
2. **Contact your bank**: Ask if they're blocking transactions to Vapi or Stripe
3. **Try updating your card and retrying past dues**: This resolved the issue for another user [as mentioned here](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1343622812568387584)
