Good question. Looking in to this. Can you tell me more about your usecase?

in the case of authorizing 15$ and suddenly there is a few things added and the new total is 45$ - i would like to be able to update the authorized amount to $45 rather than 15

I would reccommend reaching out to our support team with your usecase to see if they can help you here https://support.stripe.com/?contact=true

If you can't be enabled for over-capture, the solution may be to make a second hold for $30 in that case

Or to put it more plainly, if this can't happen with one capture, you may just need to make two holds and manage them as one payment.

But in order to do two holds dont I need to collect their payment information again?

Good point, you would need to save their payment details for future usage to be able to make place another hold without recollecting details https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse

Also keep in mind that that could trigger 3DS again for cards, so you would want to be able to present 3DS to the user for that second payment. It is fairly straightforward to handle but is something to keep in mind. Would this bump from $15 to $45 be something initiated by a user action on your page/app? Or would this be something that happens without them being there?

This would happen on our end not on the customers end

I think I was making things more confusing than they need to be. I just wanted to flag to keep in mind that you may need to display 3DS (or some other next action) to the user as per this doc https://stripe.com/docs/payments/3d-secure#when-to-use-3d-secure

So just keep in mind to check for a requires_action status on your payment intent, that signals that the user needs to do something for the hold to go through successfully
