#56954 is now repro on production and likely a backend issue, demoting
#56956 was demoted - the restriction is from using a test Plaid account. TBD full testing steps

Yes I'm going to check it off, I don't think there's a way to fully complete the QA steps at the moment. See this comment for extra context

#56753 (comment) - Blocked to proceed. Can you QA internally?

Looking 👀

Looks like all those are known issues and didn't stop us from deploying in the past, so I'm not going to block either.

I can't think of a way to QA this internally other than making an actual purchase. I'll use my card tomorrow to make a small purchase and test. It's a small change so I'm not going to wait on it. Worst case scenario we make a follow-up fix.

#56768 (comment) - We are not able to force the error. Can you pls validate this internally?

I think this actually needs some additional backend code that's not live yet. We'll QA it all internally when it's ready.
