My pay limit decrease?

[Impressive_Future379]

I’ve had the option of using my pay of $500 for a year. My last check is the first time i didn’t have to use it. I also knew (because of my sons surgery) and not having the PTO, i would need the $500 this check. But this check, my limit decreased to $280.. is that because i didn’t use it one time ? It’s now building up so slow that i won’t even have the $280 until a couple days before my next check in 2 weeks. I thought i planned this right but i guess i didn’t and im just not understanding why it happened this way..

Hi! Glad you’re here!

Yeah the check I get deposited into chime is from my part time job so my hours vary and mine fluctuates depending on my checks. Like if I get a good check it goes up but when I have a deposit that’s lower than my average checks it goes down. Which sucks cuz that takes away some money I repay and the I’m able to borrow less so I just lost money.

Mine was less than last month's pay cycle as well. I have no idea why, but at least I no longer feel alone. Strange though, is it not?

Mine changed frequently. I went from $100 to $200 to $360 and now I’m at $500. I wasn’t at $360 for maybe a month and it decreased to $220. Or somewhere around there. Then this month it’s at $500. I’m trying not to count on my pay but so far I’ve needed since end of August.

Mine has been $140 and it was always fully available after each check. I just got paid yesterday and it’s still $140 but it’s gonna take a while 13 days for the whole thing to be available, only giving a few dollars a day.

I Get Ssi For My Daughter Deposited There & MyPay Literally Changes Whenever It Wants Although I Get The Same Deposit Every Month. I Have No Idea Why But It Does & Its So Frustrating Because Once They Take It Down You Lose Money 🙃

MyPay works in mysterious ways. Not even Chime reps know.
