Below, we have explained all the possible reasons in detail why your Capital One available credits may not update.
1. Latest payment was larger than usual
The first and the foremost reasons why your Capital One available credits aren’t updating even when you have made the complete payment could that your latest payment was larger than usual.

If you have a new account or the issued credit card is new, then also you might face issues with your available credits.
The available credit for new credits cards may usually take a bit longer to update, especially when you have paid the payment for the first time as bank or card issuer need to confirm certain thing before making credits available to you.
If this is the case, you would like to wait a for a couple of hours or even a few days till your credits get updated.
3. Paying from a new bank account
Another reasons your Capital Once available credits are not updating could be that you have used a new bank account or debit card to pay the credit card bill.
If you were using the same bank account or debit card to pay the credit bill, but made the recent payment with a new bank account or credit, it might cause the delay.
When you make the credit card payment with a new account, the card issuer might require some additional time to confirm your payment and to make update your available credits.
4. Late payment

To avoid late payments, you can set up the auto-pay, so that the payment can be deducted from your checking account automatically on or before the due date, and sent to the card company via electronic funds transfer.
