# Payment Authorization Not Capturable

> The appointment's saved-card authorization cannot be captured

## Cause

The appointment has a saved-card authorization state that cannot be captured now. The appointment may already be processing, failed, or otherwise outside the capture-ready state.

## Fix

Refresh the appointment and check the current payment status before retrying capture.

## Retry safety

Not retryable until the underlying state or request changes.

## Raised by

No current operation documents this problem type in the OpenAPI definition. If you receive it in production, treat that as a contract gap and tell us.
