What cc_rejected_max_attempts means in Mercado Pago

Payment status: rejected

Short answer

The buyer reached the limit of allowed attempts. The documentation says to select a different card or payment method.

If you are the buyer

Choose another card or another payment method.

If you are the seller

Ask the buyer to use another card or payment method.

If you are the developer

General engineering advice (not from Mercado Pago's documentation): Do not retry automatically with the same card: send the buyer back to the payment method selection.

Source

The meaning comes from the Mercado Pago developer documentation, verified on 2026-11-04. Buyer and seller steps follow from it; developer notes are general engineering practice, not Mercado Pago documentation.
