Paid but credits didn't arrive

My payment has been stuck on 'Processing' for hours — is my money lost?

A checkout that stays on "Processing" for hours, especially after your bank shows the charge went through, is a funds-stuck situation rather than a lost-funds one. The payment usually did happen; the account just hasn't reconciled it yet. This is worth taking seriously if it's been several hours, rather than assuming it will resolve on its own.

Open a ticket with OpenRouter support (support@openrouter.ai) with the charge reference (or transaction hash if it was a crypto payment), the amount, the date, and your account email. Include as much specific detail as you have — that's what moves a ticket past a generic first reply.

If the payment was made through ROZO Checkout, paste the transaction hash or payment ID into ROZO Rescue and it will trace exactly where the payment stands and prepare a support packet. ROZO cannot resolve a status stuck on OpenRouter's own systems directly, but it can tell you precisely what happened on the payment side. ROZO is independent and not affiliated with OpenRouter or Coinbase.

Steps to check

  1. Confirm with your bank or wallet whether the charge/transfer actually completed.
  2. Wait at least a couple of hours before escalating — brief processing delays do resolve on their own sometimes.
  3. If it's still stuck, file a ticket with the charge/transaction reference, amount, date, and account email.
  4. If paid via ROZO Checkout, use ROZO Rescue to trace the payment.

Frequently asked questions

How long is normal for 'Processing' to last?
A few minutes to an hour is typical. Several hours with no change is worth escalating rather than continuing to wait.
Should I try paying again while it's stuck?
No — paying again before confirming the first payment's status risks a duplicate charge. Confirm the first one's fate before sending anything else.
