Reset the contactless limit

If you’ve exceeded the limit, you can reset it by selecting the card from Cards → 'Settings' → 'Reset limit', or by making a Chip and PIN payment

If you used  Apple or Google Pay

Re-add the card to Apple or Google Pay or create a new virtual card, which you can add. Then re-try the payment.
