all I'm offering here is my own personal anecdotal experience of April, am not in any way discounting your own experience or the validity of your issue

for real you need to speak to Epoch and ccbill about this if the issue persists. if you can't you need a new processor who will listen to your feedback and offer solutions if any, or at least explain why they are cracking down even if it is a 'for your ears/eyes only/off the record' type of message

I hope that makes sense. props to you for staying on top of a noticeable change for you. for me it was just Easter, before and after that was normal and has been through May thus far.

if I were you I would make the processors my first step in trying to fix this. for example getting them to whyte-list your recurring subs

getting angry won't get you paid. focus on solutions. breathe deep, contact your partners at ccb and E and work towards solving it

again, sincere good luck
