Hi Beelzelga,
To determine whether the payment issue is on Vapi's side or the bank's, please check the following:
1.
Payment History: Review your [billing page](
https://dashboard.vapi.ai) to see if there are any error messages associated with the failed payments. These might indicate if the problem is due to Vapi’s system or external factors.
2.
Billing System: If you’re interested, consider switching to the new credit-based billing system [here](
https://docs.vapi.ai/changelog/2024/10/10) which offers more predictable budgeting and other add-ons. This new system requires a manual switch and cannot revert back once changed.
3.
Bank Communication: Contact your bank or card issuer to check if they're blocking or declining the recurring charges and why.
4.
Call Cost Information: Review recent charges using
call.costs[type=vapi].subType
on your billing page to understand if the costs are being categorized as normal or overage, which might affect overall billing.
If the issue continues, please provide screen captures or any error codes from your billing page for further assistance.
