# Payment Authorization Pending

> The appointment's saved-card authorization is not ready to capture

## Cause

The appointment is waiting for its saved-card authorization before payment can be captured. A scheduled authorization may not have run yet, or the current authorization may still be processing.

## Fix

Wait until the appointment payment status is capture-ready 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.
