Prenote lag can delay first ACH cash
ACH prenote / verification can run past the planned rebill day. If rebill day falls inside prenote days, delayed cash = cohort $. Type prenote days, cohort $, and rebill day.
Pair: ACH prenote lag on Subscriptions. Return overlap: ACH return vs rebill. Reverse path: ACH return vs card refund.
What you type
Prenote days — days the processor holds / verifies before live ACH debit (typed from the schedule).
Cohort $ — first-rebill dollars waiting on that ACH path.
Rebill day — planned first rebill day from signup (your clock).
If rebill day is inside prenote, delayed cash = cohort and days late = prenote − rebill. Push the rebill or accept the lag — do not invent a prenote chip.
What not to do
Do not invent prenote days. Do not mix card MIT rebills into the ACH cohort. Do not treat a prenote as a settled debit. Do not ignore days late when cohort looks small.
