Authorize.net hold-lag exposure is not NMI hold-lag exposure
Take the prior-auth $ still waiting on capture and the capture-wait hours on that same Authorize.net prior-auth float cut. The open pile is AN hold-lag $.
Pair: Auth-to-capture lag on Payments. NMI twin: capture-wait. Death twin: auth-expire.
What you type
Open auth $ — Authorize.net prior-auth dollars still uncaptured on the cut (AIM / CIM / Unsettled Transaction export).
Lag hours — Capture-wait hours from prior-auth to capture on that same cut.
AN hold-lag $ equals the prior-auth pile while capture still waits. Long capture-wait hours usually mean a capture map or batch cron lag — chase that Authorize.net seat; never invent an AN hold-lag chip.
What not to do
Do not invent AN hold-lag $. Do not load an NMI capture-wait CSV into Authorize.net prior-auth fields. Do not fold issuer partial-auth shorts or capture-fail counts into the float pile. Do not treat settled batch cash as prior-auth float.

Failure modes
- Inventing AN hold-lag $.
- Dumping an NMI auth-to-capture file into Authorize.net hold-lag fields.
- Folding Authorize.net partial-auth or capture-fail into hold-lag exposure.

FAQ
- Is this the NMI capture-wait book?
- Sibling gateway, different export. [NMI auth-to-capture lag](/manuals/nmi-auth-to-capture-lag) prices NMI open auth across lag. This door only prices Authorize.net prior-auth float against Authorize.net capture-wait hours.
- Does a dead hold count here?
- No — death grain lives under [auth-expire share](/manuals/authorize-net-auth-expire-share). Use this page while capture is still pending and the prior-auth pile is still live.
- Can I invent AN hold-lag $?
- No. Pull prior-auth $ and capture-wait hours from the same Authorize.net prior-auth float cut.
