I'm curious if this is because the funds go charge -> connected account -> application_fee -> platform account. Therefore when specifying source as the original charge there isn't the amount there?

Hey there, taking a look

[carmine blaze]

Oh and in which case maybe instead what I really want is https://docs.stripe.com/api/fee_refunds/object? Which will go back to the connected account?

[ebon iron]

Yea, you created the payment as a destination charge with an application fee, so the transfer to the connected account already happened, and the fee was transferred to your platform as shown here: https://docs.stripe.com/connect/destination-charges?platform=web&ui=elements#flow-of-funds-app-fee

So you cannot make another transfer with that source transaction, it has already been consumed by the automatic transfer

Yes, you can either make a fee refund or you can make a transfer without the source transaction (but that would require available balance, and likely being on manual payouts). Fee refund it probably the way to go, and you'd specify the amount to refund assuming you don't want to return the entire amount.
