  The Declined Reasons Trend report in the Inyo Dashboard — per-rule decline volumes and transaction counts trended over a 7–120 day window, to identify which decline rules cost the most.

# Declined Reasons Trend

**Reports → Declined Reasons Trend** aggregates declines **by rule** and trends them over time. Where [Declined Payments](declined-payments.md) shows individual transactions, this page shows which decline reasons are growing, shrinking, or dominating — the view for deciding where tuning effort pays off.

**Requires:** *manage reports*.

### The View

Select a window — Last 7 (default), 30, 60, 90, or 120 days. The page shows a trend chart plus a grid with one row per decline rule:

| Column | Meaning |
| ------ | ------- |
| Rule Name | The rule or reason that produced the declines |
| Declined Amount | Volume declined by this rule in the window |
| Total Amount | Total volume evaluated |
| Declined Transactions | Count declined by this rule |
| Total Transactions | Total count evaluated |

### Reading It

* **A rule with high declined amount but low count** is blocking a few large transactions — often worth a manual review of those specific payments in [Search](../payments/searching-payments.md)
* **A rule trending upward** after a configuration or traffic change is your regression signal — compare its start date against recent changes
* **Chronic high-volume rules** are candidates for threshold tuning with Inyo — balanced against the fraud exposure described in [Mitigating Fraud](../../api-references/payments-gateway/mitigating-fraud.md)
