The duration of the block varies, and some cards can escape the block once in a while, but nothing consistent.

I wasn't even doing debit swipes trying to buy MO. This was for credit transactions. Also my experience today shows that auto-drain is most likely dead, even on credit swipes.
What if the third swipe was less than $80? Would the third swipe of a straight three $99 swipes be blocked? BHN is tightening up step by step to find a balance between the sale numbers and profitability.
