Release payment authorization

post https://api.mollie.com/v2/payments/{paymentId}/release-authorization

Releases the full remaining authorized amount. Call this endpoint when you will not be making any additional captures. Payment authorizations may also be released manually from the Mollie Dashboard.

Mollie will do its best to process release requests, but it is not guaranteed that it will succeed. It is up to the issuing bank if and when the hold will be released.

If the request does succeed, the payment status will change to canceled for payments without captures. If there is a successful capture, the payment will transition to paid.
