Oof, that is a problem...a decline rate like that is not normal. Have you seen our guide on reducing your decline rate? https://stripe.com/docs/declines

If you email in (https://support.stripe.com/contact), we also have a declines team that can investigate (I'm also happy to help at [email protected]).

Does Stripe publish any statistics on what is normal for decline rates, perhaps broken down by categories like payment method, whether it's a first payment or a subsequent subscription payment, how effective the various automatic retry strategies are at saving an initially failed charge, etc?

We haven't yet, but that's a neat idea...
