A decline now cools the card×node pair and the exit's shared IP for 30
minutes first; only a card declined through two distinct nodes enters a
whole-card cooldown, and do_not_try_again blocks just that card. Card

report expired cooldowns as blocks. Links-only recovery works without a
payment card, and the recovery status endpoint reports the
payment-protection pause.
