There may be three reasons:
1. Temporary credit limit expires:
Banks often increase credit limits for cardholders from time to time. It is a temporary limit, which is superimposed on the fixed limit, giving people the illusion that it is a fixed limit. As a result, after using the temporary limit for consumption, the repayment will be offset by deducting the used limit, and then the available limit will be restored. In this way, the limit will be restored. It becomes less.
2. Using the over-limit service:
Many banks have enabled over-limit services by default. After the last consumption has used up the fixed limit, you can still have an overdraft of 5 ~10% of the limit will show a negative value in the credit card limit. The negative part will be filled in for repayment first, and the remaining repayment amount will return to the fixed limit.
3. Derated by risk control:
Many cardholders do not use their credit cards for daily personal consumption in accordance with the credit card contract, but instead use them to cash out or invest. Financial management, etc. triggered the bank's risk control system, and the limit was immediately reduced after repayment.
