Amboss on Nostr: An unsuccessful payment (in the vast majority of cases) is returned to the sender ...
An unsuccessful payment (in the vast majority of cases) is returned to the sender immediately. In very rare cases, a payment gets stuck and is returned to the sender in some (20-80) blocks, depending on settings.
Many payment failures go completely undetected since payments are attempted iteratively through a trial and error process until success or the timeout.
Failures primarily cost time.
