Identifying the Symptom
When using Braintree Recurring, you might encounter an error message with the code 91525. This error typically manifests when attempting to create or update a subscription and is accompanied by a message indicating an "Invalid subscription discount ID." This symptom suggests that the discount ID provided in the API request is not recognized by the Braintree system.
Exploring the Issue
Error Code Explanation
The error code 91525 is specific to Braintree's subscription management API. It indicates that the discount ID included in the request does not match any existing discount IDs configured in your Braintree account. This can occur if the ID is misspelled, not created, or if there are issues with the account setup.
Common Causes

Steps to Resolve the Issue
Verify Discount ID
First, ensure that the discount ID used in your API request is correct. Log in to your Braintree Control Panel and navigate to the Discounts section. Verify that the discount ID exists and is active.
Correct the API Request
Once you have verified the discount ID, update your API request to include the correct ID. Ensure that there are no typographical errors. Here is an example of how to include a discount ID in a subscription request:
{
"subscription": {
"planId": "your_plan_id",
"discounts": {
"add": [
{
"inheritedFromId": "your_discount_id"
}
]
}
}
}
Check Account Permissions
If the issue persists, check your account permissions to ensure that your API user has the necessary rights to access discounts. You can manage user roles and permissions in the Braintree Control Panel.
