## What it means

Every rail and every provider declares a minimum. Below it, network or provider fees would consume more than the transfer is worth, so we reject rather than settle a negative outcome.

## Common causes

* The amount is genuinely small, for example a one cent test on an EVM rail.
* The route requires a leg whose minimum is higher than the source rail's own minimum.
* Fees on the selected rail rose and pushed the effective floor above the requested amount.

## How to resolve

Raise the amount, or call `GET /funding_intents/{id}/options` and choose a rail with a lower floor. The `excluded` array in that response names the floor for each rail that was dropped.
