Outcome: Declined
Code system: Discover

Operational context

No universal retry instruction encoded

Discover wording mapped to the SchemeLens “Invalid account” concept.

Use the current scheme, provider, transaction, and advice-code rules; the raw response value alone may be insufficient for a retry decision.
