## UX Copy: Tallyroom error messages
### Recommended Copy
| Location | Copy |
|---|---|
| **Payment form** | Your bank declined this payment. Try a different card or contact your bank. |
| **Password field** | Use at least 12 characters, including at least one number. |
| **Receipt upload** | This file exceeds the 25 MB limit. Choose a smaller file. |
### Alternatives
For password validation, use a more specific message when you can identify which requirement is unmet:
- **Too short:** Use at least 12 characters.
- **Missing a number:** Include at least one number.
- **Both:** Use at least 12 characters, including at least one number.
### Rationale
Show the rest (7 more lines)
- **Payment:** Names the cause without guessing why the bank declined the payment, and gives two next steps. Keep error code `4012` in diagnostic logs rather than the main message.
- **Password:** States the requirements instead of calling the input “invalid.” Show these requirements before an error occurs, too.
- **Upload:** Explains the actual limit and how to proceed. Removes “try again later,” since waiting won’t fix the file size.
### Localization Notes
Keep “Tallyroom” unchanged. Allow room for text expansion, and format “25 MB” according to locale conventions. Use the same terms—“card,” “password,” and “file”—throughout the flow.
